Jonathan Huberdeau plays on line with Elias Lindholm, Yegor Sharangovich as Calgary Flames open training camp
Jonathan Huberdeau felt his swagger returning while Elias Lindholm was guarded about his long-term future with the Calgary Flames when they hit the ice Thursday at training camp.
Huberdeau was shocked to be traded and did not flourish under the austere style of coach Darryl Sutter, who was fired. New general manager Craig Conroy promoted Ryan Huska from assistant to the club’s next head coach. Huberdeau’s state of mind and the contract status of top centre Lindholm, who is an unrestricted free agent next year, were the hot topics heading into training camp.
With 22 goals and 42 assists, Lindholm was last season’s No. 2 offensive producer in Calgary behind Tyler Toffoli, who was dealt to the New Jersey Devils for Sharangovich.“We talked early on in the summer and that was the last time we talked, so hasn’t been much,” he said. Lindholm, centre Mikael Backlund, defencemen Kylington, Noah Hanifin, Nikita Zadorov and Chris Tanev are scheduled for unrestricted free agency in 2024 when centre Adam Ruzicka and winger Dillon Dube will be restricted free agents.
