Craig Conroy on the Simon Nemec Contract!

On hour one of Flames Talk, Calgary Flames General Manager Craig Conroy joins Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon following the team's five-year extension for Simon Nemec. Conroy discusses the organization's desire to get a deal done with the young defenceman and explains why both sides ultimately landed on a five-year term instead of a longer six- or seven-year contract. He also provides an update on Jonathan Huberdeau's recovery from injury and shares his thoughts on the progress the veteran forward has made during the offseason. To wrap up the conversation, Conroy outlines his expectations for the remainder of the summer and what still could be on the horizon for the Flames before training camp!

(17:21) Later, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon share their reactions to Simon Nemec's new contract with the Calgary Flames, discussing whether the deal will prove to be a success for the organization and what they think about the five-year term. The guys compare Nemec's extension to those signed by other young defencemen around the NHL in recent years and debate which players provide the best contract comparables. To close out the hour, they turn to your texts to discuss what Calgary's defensive pairings could look like next season, whether another team could have attempted to offer sheet Nemec after he was acquired by the Flames, and more!
