What the Flames have that is new this season is GM Craig Conroy and head coach Ryan Huska, who were promoted from within after Brad Treliving departed to become the Toronto Maple Leafs GM and Darryl Sutter was fired in the spring. "Mentally, I feel so much better. I’m feeling like me again. So, I'm ready. It’s a new year and I want to redeem myself.""If you enjoy going to work every day, your job is that much easier to do," Huska said."It's no different for these guys. Sometimes, I even catch myself that these guys are the best at what they do. They just go and do job, but they have bad days like everybody else.
Belarusian right-winger Yegor Sharangovich, who arrived in that deal, auditioned on the right wing of Huberdeau and centre Elias Lindholm on Calgary's top line in training camp, as did Andrew Mangiapane. "When you see a player doing that, you know he's feeling really good about himself and his game. That'll allow us to put him in situations where he can have a direct impact on the game."
