It's been a crazy few days after the news from the blockbuster trade that sent Johnathan Huberdeau to the Calgary Flames along with Mackenzie Weegar, prospect Cole Schwindt, and a first round draft pick.

Sending Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers signing a big money deal. We then learned that Huberdeau wasn't happy with the trade feeling blindsided from the Panthers, because they were in early discussions on extension with the Panthers.

This got the rumors scene running wild that Huberdeau is back on the trade block. There was reports that teams were already calling Flames General Manager Brad Treliving for Huberdeau.

Today things changed and I think Flames fans are going to be happy to hear they might have a new "Johnny Hockey." During his price conference Huberdeau admitted:

"I'm willing to stay in Calgary a long time."

I know if I was a fan of the Flames this is great news Huberdeau is one of the best two way players in the game the Florida Panthers will definitely miss Huberdeau.
