On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Aaron Vickers break down the latest comments from Calgary Flames GM Craig Conroy, recorded Thursday afternoon at the Saddledome. With just one day to go before the 2025 NHL Draft, Pat and Aaron react to Conroy’s thoughts on the Rasmus Andersson situation, and why the GM has to play things close to the vest despite a trade feeling all but inevitable. They also dive into updates on pending UFAs Dan Vladar, Anthony Mantha, and Kevin Rooney, plus the ongoing negotiations with Connor Zary, Kevin Bahl, and Morgan Frost.

(30:00) Daily Faceoff’s Steven Ellis joins the show from Los Angeles with a boots-on-the-ground look at the 2025 draft class. He shares insight on the buzz in LA, how prospects like Frondell and Hagens are trending, and what unpredictability to expect when the picks start rolling in. Plus, a tease of who the Flames might have a shot at with the 18th overall selection.
