It didn’t take long for Johnny Gaudreau to set the tone on how he’ll handle one of the biggest questions looming over the Calgary Flames this season: his future. Two queries into his season-opening availability, the 28-year-old winger was asked how he’d characterize negotiations with the team to possibly extend his stay in Calgary beyond this season. “That’s between my agent and Tre (GM Brad Treliving), and I probably won’t answer many questions for you throughout the year on that,” said Gaudreau, a pending unrestricted free agent who has one year left on a deal paying him $6.75 million annually.

SEATTLE — It didn’t take long for Mark Giordano to get years of seeing red out of his system. The former longtime Calgary Flames defenceman didn’t even flinch Thursday while pulling on the jersey of a different team for the first time in his career. Give an assist to his wife for making sure Seattle Kraken blue has been the dominant color for him ever since Giordano was selected by the NHL’s newest franchise in the league’s expansion draft over the summer. “My wife’s done a good job of surrounding my family with Kraken T-shirts and we can get some jerseys now that they’re for sale,” Giordano said. Giordano and the rest of the Kraken’s roster hit the ice for the first time as a team with the start of training camp Thursday. It was the first step toward Seattle’s debut on Oct. 12 at Vegas a

During a recent visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame, it was evident the curators had work to do on the Calgary Flames’ exhibit. Pictured front and centre, with the captain’s ‘C’ prominently displayed high on his chest, was Mark Giordano. Given Giordano’s departure to Seattle, officials will likely replace the photo with Johnny Gaudreau or mouthpiece-mangling Matthew Tkachuk. A much tougher debate revolves around who will be the Flames’ next captain. “Darryl and I have talked a lot about it,” said Flames GM Brad Treliving, as his players opened camp with fitness testing Wednesday. “There won’t be any announcements today. There won’t be any announcements tomorrow. We’re going to let this thing sort of play out. I think it’s a really big, important decision,
