Calgary Flames signal a new era as Craig Conroy’s vision sharpens with Axel Hertig’s signing. Will Hertig’s defensive grit and leadership as Calgary Hitmen captain elevate the Flames’ blue line next season? Plus, NCAA scoring leader Ethan Wyttenbach returns to Quinnipiac, deepening Calgary’s future options and sparking optimism about upcoming draft strategies.
We spotlight Calgary’s growing youth movement, emphasize recent signings from the 2023 draft class, and discuss the potential of others including Castagna and the offensive potential of Matvei Gridin and Cole Reschny. The episode covers The Athletic’s 2027 NHL Draft Rankings, center depth targets, and how Flames can rebuild with eighteen picks in the next three drafts. Plus, a look back at the Jarome Iginla trade and candid discussions about Morgan Frost’s contract, Matt Coronato’s goal chase, and the game versus Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. Can Calgary’s young core and strategic draft capital drive a turnaround?

What positions do you think the Calgary Flames should target in future drafts?
Centres or best player
Can Wyttenbach be lost
One of many painful losses
I have hope for the flames and excited to see what they do in the future
