Eric Francis on the Nemec Trade, Draft Weekend, and More!

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined for the full hour by Sportsnet’s Eric Francis for another edition of the Eric Francis Hour. With the NHL Draft just one day away, Pat and Eric dive into the significant moves the Flames made leading up to the draft, including acquiring Simon Nemec from the Devils. They also discuss how Zayne Parekh could push his way into the top four at training camp and whether the Flames should select a forward or defenceman at sixth overall. The conversation continues with a look at whether drafting for positional need is worth the risk of reaching instead of selecting the best available player!

(27:46) The Eric Francis Hour continues with a look at the moves made during the week leading up to the draft, where the Ruck twins could potentially end up, and whether the Flames have the assets to acquire both. Eric also gives his perspective on what Calgary might do with Connor Zary and whether he could be dealt, the importance of Zach Whitecloud to the team, and if more picks could be on the move at the draft!
