## Resource

Boomer and Rhett are joined by Calgary Flames GM Craig Conroy for an in-depth conversation just days before the NHL Draft. Conroy shares his thoughts on this year's draft class, the growing debate between junior hockey and college hockey, and several prospects who could be on Calgary's radar including Carson Carels, Keaton Verhoff, Viggo Bjork and Caleb Malhotra. He also discusses who gets the final say on draft day, whether the Flames could move up the board, where the organization currently sits in its rebuild, and what it will take to build the next contending team in Calgary. The conversation also touches on Jarome Iginla, the Ruck brothers, expectations for next season, and an update on the Flames' new arena. After Craig signs off, the boys continue the Flames draft discussion, break down the latest storylines around the team and wrap things up with the Boomer Report. If you're a Flames fan looking for insight into the future of the organization, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
