Since being acquired back on July 22, Jonathan Huberdeau has said he is more than willing to sign an extension with the Calgary Flames, and management appears to be wanting to make that happen.

According to Elliotte Friedman, Flames general manager Brad Treliving and Huberdeau had been wanting to meet one another, and were able to do so on Monday night in what the NHL analyst referred to as a «get-to-know you» dinner which took place in Montreal. While it remains very early into the relationship between the team and player, fans have to be thrilled with how things are going so far.

As mentioned, Huberdeau was acquired by the Flames in a blockbuster alongside Mackenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt and a 2025 first-round pick which saw Matthew Tkachuk headed the other way to the Florida Panthers. This deal, at least to this point, is being viewed by most as a massive win for the Flames, and being able to re-sign both Huberdeau and Weegar to extensions would only favor that notion further.
