Summary
On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by Eric Francis for another edition of the Eric Francis Hour! With the draft five weeks away, Pat and Eric discuss the possibility of the Flames trading up into Chicago or New York's position. They highlight the Flames' lack of a top-end forward prospect and how it might be a reasonable time to overpay in order to get one. Pat asks Eric his thoughts on Ryan Lomberg and gets his opinion on how the Flames should deal with shaping the roster in a way that allows for young players to get a spot. (32:37) With Eric being in Denver for the Western Conference Final, Pat asks about how game one played out, how Cale Makar and Mark Stone's injuries affects the series, and what we might see happen in game two!
