Huberdeau (hip) will not be available for the start of the Flames' training camp, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports Friday.
"Yes, he's feeling good and is without the pain that he used to have at all times, so that's the best part," said Calgary general manager Craig Conway, referring to Huberdeau's status. "Now it's just for him to feel 100 percent ready to go into physical contact, game-playing and all that. We believe it's just a matter of when, not if." Huberdeau has been skating, but there is no timeline for his return to game action. While there is no indication the 33-year-old winger will miss Opening Night, fantasy managers probably can't rule that out entirely. If Huberdeau were to miss any time, it could open the door for additional minutes for Yegor Sharangovich or Maxim Tsyplakov.
