Looking at a Pair of Flames Trade Targets!
On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon dig into why a trade might be the more realistic path for the Flames to address key needs this offseason—especially at centre. With Frank Seravalli’s latest top 20 trade targets list as the backdrop, Pat zeroes in on Marco Rossi as a name that makes a lot of sense for Calgary, while also entertaining the idea of Bowen Byram on the back end, though centre remains the clear priority. The guys toss around a few other names, and your texts roll in on who you’d like to see the Flames target.(24:00) Plus, Brent Krahn joins the show to drop some wisdom in a rare visit, breaking down Game 4 of the Western Conference Final, sharing his goalie takes on Stuart Skinner and Jake Oettinger, and adding a little Flames Alumni Krahnicles flavour to close things out.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.

How Busy Should the Flames Be in Free Agency?
On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon look ahead to NHL free agency and why it might be a quieter summer than expected for the Calgary Flames. Despite having cap space, Pat explains why the team might steer away from smaller, depth signings like last year’s additions of Mantha, Lomberg, and Bean—opting instead to leave room for young players like Kuznetsov, Brzustewicz, Parekh, and Suniev to compete for roster spots at camp. We also hear from Craig Conroy on the team’s free agency mindset, including thoughts on smart additions and the pursuit of true impact players. Could names like Mitch Marner, Sam Bennett, or even Aaron Ekblad be on Calgary’s radar?(27:21) Later, Tom Gazzola from Edmonton Sports Talk joins the show to break down the Oilers’ 2-1 series lead on the Stars in the Western Conference Final. The guys dive into Edmonton’s bounce-back after a rough Game 1, Stuart Skinner’s return to form, what Mattias Ekholm’s return could mean, and how Evander Kane continues to be a factor.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.
