Revisiting Calgary's Top Prospects Rankings!

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?
