The Flames made the announcement yesterday that they and recently acquired forward Jonathan Huberdeau have reached an agreement on a contract deal with an eight-year duration and an AAV of $10,500,000.

With 115 points last season, including a league-best 85 assists, he finished tied for second in the NHL scoring race with 30 goals and 85 assists for Florida. The 29-year-old has 613 points (198G, 415A) in 671 games over his NHL career or almost one point per game. The left-handed forward, who was selected by the Panthers in the first round (third overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft, played his first 10 NHL seasons in Florida.

On July 22nd, the Flames acquired Huberdeau from the Florida Panthers along with defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, forward Cole Schwindt, and a conditional first-round pick in 2025.
