“Really excited. Obviously, he was one of my first calls once I got the job and [Ryan Huska] got me to reach out to him,” Savard said. “We had a really good conversation for about 40 minutes. He expressed to me what he’d like to see more of and I expressed to him that I’d like to see him do that more.”

In his first season with the Flames after being acquired in a trade last summer, Huberdeau disappointed with just 55 points. Fans hope to see him turn things around in 2023-24, and Savard seems confident he will do just that.

“I think he’s excited to get back and throw last season in the garbage and move back to where he knows he can be,” Savard said. “I think you’re going to get a different Jonathan Huberdeau this year. I think he’s going to be excellent and I think he’ll double his point totals like he knows he can.”
