Man’s going to age like Kane.
I’m fine with it.

At 10.5? Nahh i hate it

 

[Some Other Flame]

Face saving signing. Overpaid to keep him. Pure reactive organization remains purely reactive.

Whatever. Now make the necessary moves to add a legit second line center or continue to waste away in irrelevancy.

 

[super6646]

We needed this badly

 

[JurassicTunga]

Got Huby for 9 years.

Glad this is done. Org needed this after what happened with Gaudreau and Tkachuk.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

This was the money that was earmarked for Gaudreau.

Fine.

Praise Scorch!

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Damn 10.5 when he’s 37 but we can worry about that then. Good to see someone want to sign long term with us.

 

[Snazu]

With the salary cap set to rise, I don't have a problem with the dollar value. Glad to have him locked up. Funny thing is, I expected Weegar to sign and Huberdeau to wait to see how the season went before deciding. Happy with the outcome though

 

[super6646]

At the very least we are paying for superstar talent rather than mediocre crap. Next summer we’ll have tons of cap anyways, just don’t f*** it up and we should be okay.

I've been waiting for since the trade to write this:

"tHeY tRaDeD 8 yEaRs oF tKaChUk fOr 1 yEaR oF HuBeRdEaU anD wEegAr"

I've been waiting a day or so to write this:

"hE sAiD nUmBeR fOr tHiS YeAr."

 

[Zerotonine]

Wrong forum

 

[User1996]

Who tf cares? You go 8 years or you don’t sign an elite talent, because he has the power to get that in FA next summer.

This ain’t NHL22 where you can pick your term as long as the $$ is right. Get real people

FLAMES EXTEND JONATHAN HUBERDEAU | Calgary Flames

The forward has inked an eight-year extension with the club

www.nhl.com

"We are excited to extend Jonathan long term in Calgary," said Flames general manager Brad Treliving. "He is an elite player, one of the premier forwards in the league who makes players around him better. We look forward to welcoming Jonathan to our community and his contributions to our team's success."

"I'm thrilled to be part of the Calgary Flames organization long-term," Huberdeau said. "I'm excited for this new chapter and I am committed to this team. I'll give everything I have, on and off the ice and I can't wait to play in front of the passionate Flames fans."

 

[DomBarr]

I am ambivalent about this but it is more I am not sure this team is a playoff or a lottery team. Hopefully Treliving does not trade 2023 picks this year

 

[KingAlfie11]

Congrats Flames fans but I got say that's a lot of coins for a long time. I'm not sure that contract will age very well, but for now its good. He's an elite player

 

[seafoam]

Congrats!

 

[tiger_80]

He'll be a 2nd line player not long after he turns 30. This is not Crosby or Ovechkin we are talking about,

 

[MDCSL]

One of my favorite players in the league, glad to see him here long term. Next offseasons gonna be fun, tons of cap space and a lot of big names potentially becoming available.

CBJ fan here, hoping not to ruffle any feathers

Happy for you all that he’s staying long term. As a fan of a team who saw a lot of top talent leave over the last few years, I’m happy to see you guys rebound so quickly. Good luck this year

I’m fine with it.

Aye. Kane, Zuccarello style players typically age real well. Not too worried.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Edwards really opened up the wallet on this one



The last bit reads funny but assume it to mean full no trade in years 1-6 that turns into a 12 team no trade list in years 7 & 8.
