## Resource

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by Eric Francis for another edition of the Eric Francis Hour! As the quiet offseason for the Flames continues, Pat and Eric discuss what might happen between now and the draft. They talk about what the packages are for the Flames to potentially move up into the top 3 and why it could be a good move for the team as they transition from the Saddledome to Scotia Place. The conversations shifts on to the topic wingers and how players like Huberdeau, Zary and Sharangovich are caught in the logjam and need to have their roles figured out before the season starts. (29:48) Pat and Eric talk about Edmonton, Vancouver, and Toronto and debate which team can be considered the biggest mess right now, while also touching on Macklin Celebrini being named captain for Team Canada over Sidney Crosby at the World Championships, and Eric taking off to Denver for the Western Conference Final.
