About this episode
On hour two of Flames Talk, it’s the Eric Francis Hour! Pat Steinberg is joined by Eric for a full breakdown of how aggressive the Flames could be this summer. The guys dig into all the options on the table—trades, offer sheets, and free agency—and whether names like Mitch Marner or Sam Bennett could be realistic targets. Plus, how much roster space should be saved for young players pushing for NHL jobs?
(26:31) Later, Pat and Eric shift focus to the playoffs and the Cup chase in Dallas. Jim Nill’s track record earns him a GM of the Year nod, but is this finally the Stars’ year? They also talk Oilers, Edmonton’s playoff window, and what kind of deal Leon Draisaitl could be looking at in 2025.
