He’s not exactly noticeable out there so I would say it’s not good or bad
I know he didn’t have the greatest season but you could tell something was up with him at times. Hopefully it’s a speedy recovery for him and he’s able to come back next season with a certain top prospect on his line 😉
Just over a million bucks per goal. Worth every penny (sarcasm) was looking at is contract a sadly because his actual salary is low and he is paid mostly in signing bonuses it’s practically impossible to buy out.
Help us beat the oilers before going under the knife, mans a true flame at heart
This explains a bit he seemed to play a lot better last year but hasn’t been great this year. Hopefully hip surgery goes well and he can make a bigger impact next year.
Well. That explains a lot. Now I feel kinda bad. Kinda.
Hopefully he bounces back stronger next year.
Maybe this is why Huberdeau has been ass all year?
Wow. Best wishes to him, I wonder how long this has been affecting him
Man wants to help put the Oilers down before taking care of himself. I respect it.
Explains allot, speedy recovery Huby. Stromgren , your up.
Can we take on some salary now for this season in a weird asset acquisition trade?
We LTIRetiring this guy already?
Sad that he got injured. However, it happened just in time for the tank run. With Kadri and possibly Coleman traded, and Huberdeau out for rest of the season, we look primed for a deep run to tank. But stupid Canucks just can’t seem to put up any wins. I hope they don’t get 1OA pick despite being the worst team.
Hooray
So this should open up a lot of cap space to be buyers and make a playoff push right?
Now I feel bad for dragging him so much! Please come back stronger, Hubs! 💪
Worst contract in the league
I hope he’s been needing that surgery since Florida and he comes back at NHL speed.
He just wanted one more battle of Alberta under his belt. God speed Hubby. A bit of a silver lining for the Flames, forces more young guys into the lineup, hopefully helps team tank (trade Kadri & Coleman if you can) and hopefully gets us a healthy Huby at 100% to start next season flanking McKenna on the 1st line.
Say what you will about the contract, the guy has done nothing but bust his ass for this team.
Who do you think will get called up?
Well that explains a lot. He’s a warrior though
Does putting him on LTIR put us in any danger with regards to the salary floor?
Nice, another spot for another kid hopefully.
This guy sucked for years. It wasn’t his hip.
Show what I know…. absolutely nothing… just seeing a player re-invented his game last year and looking like a solid power forward having so much issue this season and now it comes out he needs a season ending hip surgery.. Many fans, myself included just criticize without knowing these background information.. My apology and hope Hubey get speedy recovery.
Hips don’t lie
From what I have seen, hip injuries for hockey players kind of sucks. After getting surgery on one hip it doesn’t seem to be uncommon that they get surgery on the other hip a year or two later. While it isn’t always the case, hockey players careers are often over 2 or 3 years after they get to this point. Whether they retire or finish out their career on LTIR, hip trouble can signal the end for a player; especially if they’re over 30.
They are going to be writing stories about this Huberdeau contract thirty years from now.

Is this good for the tank, or bad for the tank.
