Gaudreau, Tkachuk out and Huberdeau, Kadri, Weegar in is a major roster change and we have to accept that this is a different Flames team and it may not be as good at least initially as Gaudreau and Tkachik brought elements to the team that isn't easily replaceable. All three players are here for a long time and eventually they will make this their team but right now it's a team finding its way and that shouldn't surprise anyone.

Totally agree.
It's never too early to point out who needs to step it up, but those wondering about contract value for one of the most consistent producing forwards in the league over the past 5 years are really jumping the shark.
Huberdeau is 2nd on the Flames in xGF% at 60.5%
He's very due for some big nights.
