    Analyzing the Draft Lottery Aftermath

    On hour two of Flames Talk, the focus turns to the strategy of the 2026 NHL Draft now that the draft position is officially locked in. Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon explore the "now what?" of the situation, debating whether Craig Conroy should look to package assets—including the Vegas first-round pick and a stockpile of second-rounders—to move back up into the top three. They weigh the pros and cons of moving down to collect more picks versus standing pat to take a franchise-altering defenseman or center at six. (25:56) Our Pacific Division Insider, Jonathan Davis from the NHL Network joins the program to break down a busy week across the division. He shares his breakdown of Game 1 between the Ducks and the Golden Knights, his reaction to seeing the San Jose Sharks land another top pick in the draft, and more!

    Draft Lottery Thoughts One Day Later!

    On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon sift through the wreckage of Tuesday’s NHL Draft Lottery results. With the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks winning the two draws, the Flames dropped from fourth to sixth overall—the absolute worst-case scenario for the organization. The guys clear out a heated text line as fans react to the results and the frustration of sliding down the board. They discuss why, despite the disappointment, picking at number six still provides a massive opportunity for the rebuild and whether the caliber of player available actually shifts between the fourth and sixth spots. (30:44) Daily Faceoff’s Steven Ellis joins the show to provide an early scouting report on the talent available at number six. Steven breaks down why Gavin McKenna is the undisputed top prize for Toronto and explores the possibility of Caleb Malhotra being available for Calgary. They also dive into international names like Viggo Bjork and Alberts Smits, and why Steven has the Flames selecting defenseman Carson Carels in his latest mock draft.

    On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon look ahead to what is arguably the most critical date in recent franchise history: the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery.

They debate who the Flames could or should take at number one, and number two overall, and what it would mean for the team to potentially land their highest pick in franchise history.

    How Long Should This Rebuild Take?

    On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon tackle the million-dollar question: how long should a proper rebuild actually take? One week removed from locker clean-out day, the guys discuss Craig Conroy’s commitment to a new organizational philosophy and why the Flames might have a head start compared to other rebuilding franchises. They look at successful blueprints like Anaheim and Montreal—both of which turned things around in roughly four years—and contrast them with "cautionary tales" from Buffalo and Edmonton.

They break down Craig Conroy’s end-of-year challenge to Frost, his impressive 56.8% clip in the faceoff circle, and the looming question of whether the team should commit to a long-term extension now or wait to see if his production holds up next fall.

    Assessing Blake Coleman's Future in Calgary

    On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon tackle what is arguably the biggest story of the summer: the future of Blake Coleman. After being the subject of intense trade speculation at the deadline, Coleman remains a Flame, but with the offseason here, the conversation shifts back to whether he fits a rebuilding timeline. The guys break down comments from both Coleman and GM Craig Conroy regarding the possibility of a contract extension versus a high-value trade, and why "retention" will be the magic word in any potential deal. (30:16) The guys wrap up the show by looking at the opening matchups of the postseason. They react to the Edmonton Oilers surviving a scare against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 1 and discuss the Carolina Hurricanes taking a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Ottawa Senators behind the steady play of Frederik Andersen.  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.
