Huberdeau on first season with Flames: ‘I know I’m going to do well. I’m confident’ yyc NHL CalgaryFlames
“I know everybody wants you to do well. But for me, I know I’m going to do well. I’m confident. It’s going to be an exciting season.”
The 29-year-old collected a puck along the boards in his own zone and turnstiled a pinching Josh Morrissey with a silky spin-o-rama, leaving the Winnipeg Jets defenceman looking like he’d just been stood up on a blind date. He hustled the length of the ice before dropping a slick pass to centre Elias Lindholm, who dished to eventual triggerman Tyler Toffoli to cap a highlight-reel sequence from Calgary’s new-look first line.
Suddenly with a surplus of cap space, Treliving also inked Nazem Kadri, fresh off his championship run with the Colorado Avalanche and widely considered to be the best centre on the market. “I’m excited to see what we’re going to do,” Huberdeau said shortly after his initial touchdown at the Calgary Airport — and before his photo op on the Stampeders’ touchdown horse. “This year, I think we can believe and go get a Stanley Cup right away.”In fact, according to the prediction model at MoneyPuck.com, the Flames have the best odds of hoisting the ultimate prize. They check in at 8.7%, a smidge better than the Avalanche, their opponents for Thursday’s home opener at the Saddledome .
