The guys break down the pros and cons of every option, and why the NHL might be the only logical destination. Plus, Mikael Backlund is officially headed to Worlds too, joining a growing group of Flames set to represent in Stockholm.

(34:27) The Daily Flames Roundtable with Derek Wills asks: who was the biggest surprise of the season for the Flames? The guys toss around names, weigh breakout performances, and look back on what separated this year’s team from expectations.
