New Player Rankings, an Elite Bedard Card, Rookie GIFs, and Other Blackhawks Bullets
Craig Conroy said Huberdeau had a setback in skating recovery, leaving his status for training camp uncertain.
- Calgary Flames' Jonathan Huberdeau experienced a recovery setback two weeks ago during skating drills following his hip resurfacing surgery. General manager Craig Conroy confirmed the delay in an interview on Sports on 770.
- Acquired in a 2022 blockbuster trade from the Florida Panthers, Huberdeau underwent hip resurfacing surgery in March after being shut down by the Flames in late January due to ongoing ailments that limited last season's play.
- Conroy stated gym work remains "real positive," but the team will not rush recovery. "We just want to make sure we do the right thing for him," Conroy said, prioritizing his full health over timeline.

- This setback compounds challenges for Huberdeau, who has struggled to meet expectations following his $84 million extension signed after the 2022 trade. The Flames continue navigating a multi-year postseason drought entering the new season.
