Flames Talk

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by a pair of elite prospects and former Victoria Royals teammates who spent their freshman seasons together at the University of North Dakota, 2025 18th-overall pick Cole Reschny and top draft prospect Keaton Verhoeff! Reschny chats about his transition to college hockey after putting up 35 points in 36 games, and Verhoeff dives into his freshman year and the very real possibility of reuniting with Reschny in Calgary next month.

(29:23) To wrap up Pat and Logan Gordon explain why Flames fans have a massive reason to root for the Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final. Beyond seeing former fan favorites Rasmus Andersson and Noah Hanifin chase their first championship, there is huge draft capital on the line. The guys break down the trade condition from the Andersson deal: if Vegas wins the Cup, Calgary’s 2028 second-round pick automatically upgrades to a first-round pick.

On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon dive into the non-draft trade market following Nick Kypreos’ first summer trade board. To no surprise, Blake Coleman is the premier Flames asset generating buzz, and Pat and Logan break down the heavy interest in Coleman from the trade deadline, and explain how a lack of salary retention stalled a deal. With Coleman heading into the final year of his contract and looking for long-term security, the guys debate if Craig Conroy should grant a four-to-five-year extension or cash in on the winger's high trade value. They also look at other potential trade chips, including Morgan Frost, and depth defensemen Joel Hanley and Brayden Pachal, who are facing a numbers game on the blueline.

() Jonathan Davis from the NHL Network joins the program to react to a stunning Stanley Cup Playoffs development: the Vegas Golden Knights sweeping the Colorado Avalanche to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. JD discusses the undeniable John Tortorella effect in Vegas, Mitch Marner’s dominant postseason performance, and where the Avalanche go from here. Plus, they dive into the coaching carousel with Jay Woodcroft linked to Toronto and Los Angeles, and evaluate Leo Carlsson’s looming RFA contract situation in Anaheim.
