From the start, the Calgary Flames and Jonathan Huberdeau were a match made in heaven.
All Huberdeau wanted was for a team to show him some respect. The Flames just needed a star to love them back.
Flames general manager Brad Treliving didn’t need to look further than his recycling bin to find an appopriate template for the contract he signed with his newly-acquired star winger on Thursday evening.
Eight years at a $10.5 million cap hit. Sound familiar? It should: Calgary reportedly offered the exact same deal to former franchise cornerstone Johnny Gaudreau.
