Can the Flames Get Their Number One Centre This Summer?

from Flames Talk · host Sportsnet

On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon tackle the "white whale" of the Flames' rebuild: the search for a true number one center. Following recent buzz from Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts, the guys discuss whether Craig Conroy has the assets to move into the elite center market this summer. They break down the upcoming draft class—headlined by top pivots like Malhotra, Bjorck, and Lawrence—and debate if a trade for a young, established piece like Mason McTavish or Conor Geekie is a realistic path forward for the organization. (30:06) On the Daily Flames Roundtable, the crew clears out a busy text line as the listeners weighs in on the center ice dilemma. They discuss the price of admission for high-end talent and evaluate which current roster players could be moved to facilitate a major upgrade down the middle.

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
