## Resource

With the backdrop of the Calgary Flames admitting there’s a problem and rebuilding is the only solution, Mike Asti and Alex Wiederspiel welcome Josh Easthope of LockedOn Flames on this edition of the Game Night crew’s preview series. Why was the franchise signing such a different tune six months ago? Where are they now in the rebuild? Who are the key players to watch and who may stick around? Will the market be an obstacle for the Flames in this plan to rebuild?
