He will never leave here until that contract is up. He doesn’t want to and Flames don’t want to get rid of him. By the time they need the cap space he will be done.
Fans love him. Lots of Huby jerseys in the dome. He is comfortable here.
That’s coming from a guy that really didn’t want him here. Even I’ve come around.

I'm fine with that. Huberdeau and Kadri have their NMC and get to decide if they are moving or not.
- The word is that Kadri has set down roots and family and the decision to stay here is personal.
- Huberdeau may not want to stick around for a couple more years of retooling, especially if the Andersson trade signals that we want to bottom out. If his play this year makes him tradeable then he may be open to a trade to a team on the upswing.
It will be very tough on team tank if Kadri and Huberdeau keep the team closer to the playoff bubble than the top of the draft list.

We really need to package up some wingers to try and land another real centre.

Hanley is looking to be more desirable than Bean, but Bean is under contract for next season and Hanley is UFA.
Pospisil is only on the "first" line because he keeps playing on Kadri's wing. I agree, it would be great if a prospect takes his spot and forces him down the lineup or onto the trade block.
I would definitely look at how to trade some winger prospects and/or draft capital to land a blue-chip or grade-A C.
