The bad call was signing Huberdeau to the extension before he had played a single game. And that was a desperate effort to change the narrative about Calgary being a laughingstock that nobody wanted to play for.

No wonder GM's never get it right; especially Flames' GM's. There's always something wrong about any move taken or not taken.
