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.
