			It’s still a Flames jersey right? If he had refused to wear anything but the latest and something else instead, would that have been better? 
 
That’s why I like Huberdeau already, he probably just saw the Flames logo and put it on, good enough and not a biggie.

No, I’m with you.  It’s a big deal to some here, and to each his own, but for me, it’s just not a big deal.  There are some jerseys I preferred over others, but I’m not going to complain about piping or patches.

			We need to get Huby in every type of jersey before the season starts: 
 
Retro 
Flag 
Blasty 
Pedestal 
04 red 
Heritage Classic 
 
The guy will be a legend before he even plays a single game.

That jersey needs to stay buried forever, along with the flames third jersey from a few seasons ago..

I would like to understand why you think Huberdeau and James Neal are similar players. 
 
You're very, very wrong but I am interested in understanding exactly how a person could think this.

			I thought I was in the wrong thread and the poster was referencing Kadri. The Kadri signing definitely seems like a poison pill that will turn out like James Neal. Huberdeau is harder to gauge. As Byron Bader showed in a tweet elite playmakers have a longer shelf life but not all of them. I think you can reasonably expect he's great until 33, good until 35 and a wildcard up to age 37.

			When the Flames signed Neal he was already in decline mode. Hubby is coming off his best season and has been an elite offensive player for years now. Neal was never the offensive player Huberdeau is
