Revisiting Calgary's Top Prospects Rankings!

from Flames Talk · host Sportsnet

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Aaron Vickers revisit the Calgary Flames’ prospect pool following the 2025 NHL Draft. After adding eight new players, the top-10 rankings look a lot different than they did back in May — including a major shakeup in the top five. Pat walks through his updated list and explains why recent picks like Cole Reschny and Cullen Potter are already pushing up the ranks, and why holdovers like Gridin, Brzustewicz, and Honzek have slid. The guys debate upside, long-term value, and who just missed the cut.(17:50) Later, Daily Faceoff’s Steven Ellis joins the show to break down Calgary’s system in detail. He shares insight on how to rank a team’s prospects, where Zayne Parekh stacks up among all D prospects league-wide, and why he’s buying upside on players like Reschny, Gridin, and Honzek. Plus, which Flames prospect has the biggest boom-or-bust potential? And who might sneak into the top tier down the road?The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate. https://www.sportsnet.ca/960/flames-talk/Get full Flames games and great shows like Quick 60: The Stamps Show, Wranglers Watch and more ON DEMAND.

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.
