Two weeks ago, Jonathan Huberdeau’s life changed when he was trade from the Florida Panthers to the Calgary Flames. On Thursday evening, his life changed again after he finalized an eight-year contract extension that will keep him in Calgary through the 2030-31 season.
As with many things in life, the signing process was accelerated over dinner.
On Monday, Flames general manager Brad Treliving made a trip to Montreal and broke bread with Huberdeau. Per the player, the two had never met before and so it was a chance for them to get to know each other.
“And obviously that dinner went really well,” shared Huberdeau during a chat with the assembled media on Friday.
