About this episode

The episode discusses key Calgary Flames players who need significant offseasons and features insights on the Stanley Cup Final.

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon take a closer look at which Flames players are set up for crucial offseasons as Calgary continues to shape its future. The guys each highlight three names they believe need big summers, including Zayne Parekh as he looks to build strength and establish himself over a full NHL season, Morgan Frost as he eyes a breakout year down the middle, and Matvei Gridin as he continues to develop into a potential impact scorer, before opening the conversation up to the textline. (28:45) Jonathan Davis from NHL Network joins the show to break down a 2-1 Stanley Cup Final lead for Vegas and what he expects heading into Game 4. The conversation also touches on Edmonton’s reported interest in Mike Babcock, Peter Laviolette landing behind the bench in Los Angeles, expectations for the Kings, and the latest intrigue around San Jose’s plans with the second overall pick.
