Jonathan Huberdeau is remaining in Calgary. The winger who was obtained in the arrangement that sent Matthew Tkachuk to the Panthers has marked an eight-year, $84 million augmentation with his new club.
The agreement conveys an AAV of $10.5 million and will start toward the beginning of the 2023-24 season.
"I'm excited for this new chapter and I am committed to this team. I'll give everything I have, on and off the ice."

“I’m excited to be essential for the Calgary Flames association long haul,” Huberdeau said in the group’s public statement. “I’m energized for this new section and I am focused in this group. I’ll give all that I have, here and there the ice and I can hardly stand by to play before the energetic Flames fans.”
Huberdeau, alongside defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, prospect Cole Schwindt and a contingent 2025 first-round pick, were gained from the Panthers fourteen days prior after Tkachuk told the Flames he wouldn’t re-sign with the club. Huberdeau and his camp had recently been examining a drawn out expansion with the Panthers before he was managed to the Flames.
The 29-year-old is falling off his best season yet, recording 115 focuses for the Panthers, assisting them with winning the Presidents’ Trophy for the best record in the association.
“We are eager to broaden Jonathan long haul in Calgary,” Flames senior supervisor Brad Treliving said. “He is a tip top player, one of the chief advances in the association who improves players around him. We anticipate inviting Jonathan to our local area and his commitments to our group’s prosperity.”
Here are more details on the extension for Huberdeau.
Jonathan Huberdeau contract details
Huberdeau has one year left on his ongoing six-year, $35.4 million agreement he endorsed with the Panthers in 2016, which conveys an AAV of $5.9 million. He new agreement, which is for a long time with an AAV of $10.5 million, will kick in toward the start of the 2023-24 season.
The most current individual from the Flames has for some time been one of the more misjudged players for a long while. This year, it at long last felt like he got the commendation he had merited for a long time covered down in Florida. Since the 2017-18 season, Huberdeau’s 415 focuses rank seventh in the NHL.
It’s an exorbitant cost to pay, as the agreement won’t kick in until he’s 30 years of age. At this point, Huberdeau is valued at $10.5 million for each season, however by the fifth or 6th year in that arrangement, looking quite bad is going.
Eventually, almost certainly, the Flames would need to give Huberdeau the maximum arrangement for him to remain. I envision Treliving would have rather pay Tkachuk that sort of cash, who really got $1 million less each year in his new arrangement with the Panthers, yet the 24-year-old would have rather not remained in Calgary.
Presently, the Flames have a genuine top-line winger who is one of the most mind-blowing passers in the game secured for what’s to come. They can return to being serious next season and not explode all that like most figured they would in the wake of losing Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau.
Jonathan Huberdeau stats
The winger is falling off a profession year and the best single standard season in Panthers establishment history, establishing the standard for focuses (115) and helps (85). His completed tied for second in the association in focuses and drove the NHL in helps. Huberdeau wound up fifth in Hart Trophy casting a ballot therefore.
While this season is undoubtedly somewhat of an exception, Huberdeau has consistently delivered at an extremely misjudged level. He’s been over a point-per-game player each season starting around 2018-19, and has something like 40 helps five seasons in succession.
