3. Jonathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri aren’t going anywhere

While this isn’t a rumour that’s come up as often as others, there have certainly been trade proposals out there to move either Huberdeau or Kadri just a year after signing long-term extensions, but no matter what, these two are here to stay in Calgary. Sure, 2022-23 was a disappointing campaign for both of their new additions, but with a new Head Coach that’s reportedly looking to give the team more freedom offensively, they have a great chance to turn it around, especially if they can add another top weapon or two.

Flames fans have a right to be frustrated with the way they performed a season ago, but on his way out, Brad Treliving locked the team into their leaders for the foreseeable future, and even if they were trying to move on from one of them, it would take way too many assets to make that happen, so get ready for them to lead the way for the most part of the next decade.
