The Flames aren't either.
It amazes me that so many people think the Flames are building around Huberdeau and Kadri - they are not. These guys are placeholders and leaders, while the team is rebuilt with youth.
Look at the roster - there is hardly anyone between the ages of 26 and 30. The 'core' is Coronato, Zary, Wolf, Parekh, Frost, etc. When these guys are good, Kadri, Coleman, Backlund and possibly Huberdeau, will all be long gone.
