Assessing Blake Coleman's Future in Calgary

About this episode

The episode discusses Blake Coleman's future with the Calgary Flames amidst trade speculation and the implications for the team's rebuilding timeline.

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon tackle what is arguably the biggest story of the summer: the future of Blake Coleman. After being the subject of intense trade speculation at the deadline, Coleman remains a Flame, but with the offseason here, the conversation shifts back to whether he fits a rebuilding timeline. The guys break down comments from both Coleman and GM Craig Conroy regarding the possibility of a contract extension versus a high-value trade, and why "retention" will be the magic word in any potential deal. (30:16) The guys wrap up the show by looking at the opening matchups of the postseason. They react to the Edmonton Oilers surviving a scare against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 1 and discuss the Carolina Hurricanes taking a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Ottawa Senators behind the steady play of Frederik Andersen.
