About this episode
Pat Steinberg and Frank Seravalli discuss the Calgary Flames' 2025-26 season and the future of the roster amidst ongoing NHL developments.
On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by NHL Insider Frank Seravalli to conduct the final postmortem on the Flames' 2025-26 season. While the Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full swing elsewhere, the focus here is on the future of the roster and the importance of a patient rebuilding process. Frank shares his insights on the potential trade market for Blake Coleman, the future of pending free agent Ryan Lomberg, and dives into a chaotic week for NHL front offices—including the firing of Patrick Allvin in Vancouver and the ongoing general manager searches in Toronto and Nashville. (24:55) On the Daily Flames Roudntable, alongside Derek Wills and Logan Gordon, the crew debates what stands as the "biggest success" of the Flames' season. Was it the graduation of top prospects, the emergence of a new goaltending tandem, or the commitment to a long-term direction? They also take a moment to look at former Flame Dan Vladar, who has become the MVP of the Philadelphia Flyers and is currently leading them through a first-round series against the Penguins.
