On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon are joined by NHL.com Deputy Managing Editor Adam Kimelman to get you set for draft week, which is now just days away. The conversation dives into the biggest intrigue points heading into Buffalo, how the top of the draft could shake out, and why San Jose going Chase Reid at number two makes sense. Kimelman also weighs in on Vancouver’s potential decision between Caleb Malhotra and Ivar Stenberg, the narrowing gap at the top of the class, and why Carson Carels is a strong fit for the Flames at sixth overall, along with a few other intriguing names to watch.

(29:17) Pat and Logan react to the Carolina Hurricanes capturing the Stanley Cup with a series win over Vegas. The guys share their takeaways from the Final, discuss Freddie Andersen’s incredible run, debate the Conn Smythe choice, and look at what Carolina’s championship says about roster construction — including the value of smaller centres — before wrapping with a few offseason predictions.
