Summary
On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by NHL insider Frank Seravalli to take a wide-ranging look around the league with just over two weeks to go until the NHL Draft in Buffalo. Frank shares his latest read on how the draft board is shaping up following the Combine, who he believes could go first overall, and what kind of player Calgary might be targeting at sixth overall. The conversation also dives into how much movement we could see inside the top ten, the latest surrounding Mike Babcock and the Oilers, Peter Laviolette landing in Los Angeles, the Maple Leafs’ coaching search, and the growing tension around Dylan Larkin’s situation in Detroit. (29:14) Flames legend Lanny MacDonald joins the program as the show continues to reflect on the life and legacy of longtime GM Cliff Fletcher following his passing. Lanny shares his memories of Fletcher, including the trade that brought him to Calgary in 1981, his first impressions of working with Cliff, and what made him such a unique builder and leader during his decades in the game.
