"Jonathan Huberdeau's 2025-26 campaign is reportedly over. The veteran winger scored Calgary's opening goal on the power play in a 4-3 win over Edmonton, but Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman is reporting that it was Huberdeau's final game of the season. The 32-year-old now requires hip surgery and will miss the remainder of the year."
"Friedman reports that Panarin initially hoped Florida or Tampa Bay would emerge as a fit. Anaheim balked at an extension, San Jose never advanced far, and Los Angeles became the unexpected landing spot. But, they weren't even close to the best offer. Panarin's camp canvassed the league before choosing the Kings. Apparently, there were massive offers elsewhere, including whispers of a four-year, $60 million deal."
Jonathan Huberdeau's 2025-26 season is over after he requires hip surgery; he scored Calgary's opening power-play goal in a 4-3 win over Edmonton but will miss the remainder of the year. Huberdeau had reportedly been playing through significant pain, and with the Flames outside the playoff picture and the Olympic break underway, surgery timing was chosen. Artemi Panarin accepted a lower-value deal to join the Los Angeles Kings despite substantial interest from Florida, Tampa Bay, Seattle, Carolina, Washington and others, with whispers of a four-year, $60 million offer. Leon Draisaitl criticized Edmonton amid a slump, and Columbus and Toronto clarified their trade-deadline positions.
