As we begin the 2017-18 NHL season, Sportsnet960's Pat Steinberg stopped by for his first appearance on the podcast. After explaining how he got into sports radio (nerd alert), we looked at the Calgary Flames line-up and where Jaromir Jagr fits, we talked bold predictions and over-unders for the season, we looked at what if scenarios when injuries inevitably strike and we finished off with some listener Q&A.

With rookie camp a week away and main camp after that, PostMedia Flames beat writer Wes Gilbertson was my guest as we examined a few noteworthy topics. We looked back on Glen Gulutzan's rookie season as head coach, the turnaround the team made and what to expect in 2017-18. We also spent a lot of time talking about Penticton, what we've learned in the past, storylines and who to watch this year. We wrap up with a bunch of great listener questions.

Less than a month away from rookie camp, TSN's Jermain Franklin stopped by the studio to talk Flames and the 2017-18 season. We examined how the Battle of Alberta is stacking up, we debated the team's three most important players, we looked at the training camp battles we're most interested in and we conjured up our own plan 'B' line combinations. We wrapped up with listener questions.

It's that time of the summer where I update my rankings and release a new list of the Top 20 Calgary Flames prospects. Joining me as we walk through the list beginning with the honourable mentions and winding towards No. 1 is Aaron Vickers, Calgary correspondent for NHL.com and managing editor of Future Considerations.

The summer podcast series continues with PostMedia's Kristen Odland joining in to talk about the Calgary Flames off-season. We assess the GM's moves made so far, look ahead to what the opening night roster might look like, debate if the Flames are legit 'contenders' and contemplate what could go wrong. We also answer a bunch of listener questions.

Fresh on the heels of the Flames 2017 Development Camp, Sportsnet 960's Rob Kerr joined Darren Haynes as co-host where the talk was all about Calgary's prospects. Topics included Spencer Foo, Emile Poirier and we went over the depth charts at forward, defence and goaltender. We wrapped up by answering a bunch of listener questions.

For a look-ahead to the 2017 NHL Draft as well as a discussion of other Flames off-season topics, I'm joined by Aaron Vickers of NHL.com and draft publication Future Considerations. Topics include how their rankings come together, how the top of the draft may unfold and who the fits might be for Calgary. We also review how Brad Treliving has fared in his first three years of drafting before closing off by answering listener questions.

With the Flames on a roll, 12-1-1 in their last 14, PostMedia beat writer Wes Gilbertson is my guest as we talk about how Calgary got to where they are today -- the roller-coaster ride it has been -- who have been the surprises so far and who could still make an impact moving forward, and who would be the best/worst match-ups in the post-season.

Just back from chasing the Flames across New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, and with Calgary on its bye week, PostMedia's Kristen Odland is my guest. In addition to tales from the road trip, we discuss Dennis Wideman, the looming trade deadline, how the expansion draft might impact Calgary and my new mid-season Top 20 Flames Prospects rankings. We close with a mailbag.

Flames radio colour commentator Peter Loubardias stopped by as my guest and we dug into a variety of topics including first-year coach Glen Gulutzan and what we've learned so far, the struggles of Sam Bennett and Johnny Gaudreau, could tiny prospect Matthew Phillips one day make the NHL, and the evolution of the NHL's fourth line and where it is headed. We finished off by answering reader questions.
