Summary
On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg spends the full hour diving into the 960960 text line to answer all of your questions about the team on the Friday Flames Talk Summer Mailbag! Pat gives his take on if the Flames should trade up in the draft, along with who they might take wherever they end up. Pat shares his thoughts on the ceiling of prospects like Carson Carels and Viggo Björck, and what the Flames' all-time best draft class is. Pat covers the idea of a Coleman and Backlund trade package, how the rebuilding timeline looks, options at sixth overall, and more as the mailbag gets emptied going into the weekend.
