00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:35.159
Hey, flame stands. It's a live edition of the NHL Draft,
2
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.840
Flames Unfiltered version. We're gonna roll through all the picks,
3
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.280
talk about the damage trade and all that good Flames talk.
4
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.799
I am host Brad Rood alongside the other host, Kyle Lewis,
5
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.320
and we do the s every single week, talk Flames
6
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.520
hockey and uh two long days of draft. And I'll
7
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.719
tell you what when I say along that first round,
8
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.399
Kyle holy Coyle.
9
00:00:58.039 --> 00:00:58.640
I fall asleep.
10
00:00:58.920 --> 00:00:59.119
Yeah.
11
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:00.920
I mean I did well to hang on as long
12
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.920
as I did. But I tweeted about the the production
13
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.359
of it and my thoughts on it, and some people
14
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.799
took me to task because they thought it was cool
15
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.920
having all those celebrities involved whatever. But generally I just
16
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.840
found that ex statement. Yeah, I mean, even if Gary
17
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:16.879
Bettman announced the picks, it's like we just get like,
18
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.439
he doesn't need to do it. Let's get someone else
19
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.719
to do it. But anyway, it was long, like you said,
20
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:21.840
long and drawn out.
21
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.840
Just long. I just I don't know. I don't like
22
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.519
this decentralized draft. I like, and the teams are there
23
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.840
and you can watch the GMS talking, and I don't know,
24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.319
there's something about that I don't know what it is.
25
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:35.159
There's just something about that.
26
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.480
But you just feel like you're part of the experience.
27
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.519
It's not so performative. Last night was and actually today
28
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.439
even was better. I mean, obviously it goes quicker, which
29
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:45.519
is a big plus, but the like the B panel,
30
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.359
I'll called them all the all thee respect to those guys,
31
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.640
like they did a pretty good job cracking some jokes
32
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.200
and yeah, it was, it was. It was a funner
33
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.200
today today, even though it's a lot more picks to
34
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:55.120
be made.
35
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.680
It goes quicker today, but today just seemed I don't know.
36
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:03.239
I think one of my problems this year was we're
37
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.280
not used to having that high end draft pick, you know,
38
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.560
so I don't usually pay attention to the high end
39
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.360
as high end guys as much, and I kind of
40
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.560
spread out who I study through the league, and this
41
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.000
year I was just really focused on that first ten guys,
42
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.400
and then after that I was just like, man, I
43
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.319
feel lost. I just I just feel lost in some
44
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.439
of these guys. And uh, I think that's why my
45
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.240
Day two of the draft was a little bit like
46
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.120
where are we going with this? You know what I mean?
47
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.360
Yeah, yeah, exactly what do yeah, because because I was
48
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.159
so top heavy, right, and then a lot of a
49
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.400
lot of hyper aun those players. Obviously, it's a relatively
50
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.960
deep draft. I wouldn't say it was exciting as last year,
51
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.199
which is arguably could turn out to be the best
52
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:47.439
draft in Flames history.
53
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:49.479
Not copetition.
54
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.599
Yeah, yeah, but I mean overall was it was Uh,
55
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.000
it was. It was pretty cool.
56
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.639
Let's run through the picks and uh there was nine
57
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.520
of them. We did trade one pick, and we'll get
58
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.840
to that. Let's start it off round one. I don't know,
59
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.520
I mean the first round started a little bit different
60
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.159
than what we kind of thought. I mean, I think
61
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.520
we all saw McKennon McKenna going first, Stenburgh going second,
62
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.080
my Helter going through. I don't think any of us
63
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.280
were surprised. And then Buffalo picks Daxon or Rudolph and
64
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.240
I'm like, okay, well that changes things a bit for
65
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.080
the Flames. Yeah, well it means that one of b
66
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:33.319
York or Carl's or Verhoff we're going to be available.
67
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:40.120
And then the Rangers pick Albert Smith's and I don't know,
68
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.240
to me, that was a little bit of a surprise.
69
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.400
Rattle their fan base a bit too. I looked at
70
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.199
some of the reactions on X it was, yeah, they
71
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.120
didn't love that at them.
72
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.719
A little bit surprise. And then then pick six comes,
73
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.120
and that's where the Calgary Flames come in. And who
74
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.800
did you think they were going to take it six?
75
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.560
I thought b York was going to get the call
76
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:03.840
at six. I thought if York was gone, then I
77
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.400
think Rhof was gonna get I didn't. I just I'd
78
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.680
assume from the beginning the Carson Carroll Carls would be
79
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.560
picked by the four or five pick. I just saw
80
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:16.120
him gone.
81
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.319
Yeah, I think most of us, most of us did.
82
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.279
I was a little surprised he's available. Was a little
83
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.160
bit surprised that they took him, I guess because in
84
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.279
my head, even though they do have a lot of
85
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.199
defensemen in their system, like, he's a different type of defenseman,
86
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.720
and I was just so hell bent on a like
87
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.759
an impact forward. But Calgary, you know, drafting six was
88
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.199
in kind of that weird spot where they may not
89
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.959
have been a surefire player to take then, Right, So
90
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.839
I do like to pick a lot the guy. All
91
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.360
people talk about his leadership skills and his two way play,
92
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.639
and he's already talked about how he's like the perfect
93
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.279
compliment design perx. So that's music the Flames fanziers right
94
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:51.360
there like that alone.
95
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.439
Well, you know, he has a left defenseman, kind of
96
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.759
a jack of all trades on defense. He's got scoring ability,
97
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.639
but it's also very very strong defensively, has a little
98
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.040
bit of grit to him, and I guess it's gonna
99
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.079
give you twenty twenty five minutes a night at top
100
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.079
end as a top end defenseman. And you know, it's
101
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.480
kind of funny. After we drafted him and we kind
102
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.720
of started to see how the depth chart was fitting
103
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.759
into place, it was pretty interesting. I mean, just the
104
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.120
future of where we're going to go on the back
105
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.160
end if all these guys work out and things go
106
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.720
as planned. Of course, there's so many variables, it looks
107
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.680
pretty appealing.
108
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.639
Yeah, it's We've talked to length about draft capital what
109
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.439
that means for the Flames, and we don't usually have
110
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.240
this problem, the ability to have so many different players
111
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.120
at all these positions and actually able to move some.
112
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.120
So because of that, they were able to move around
113
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:48.680
in the draft a little bit and it made for
114
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.199
pretty fun and interesting day.
115
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:55.600
Right. So, after Carson Carroll has picked, we have a
116
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.319
little bit of a break and then come pick thirty
117
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:04.560
of round one. On the next uh pick for the Flames,
118
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.360
they picked Jack Hextall, a center from the United States
119
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.360
Hockey League Youngstown. I've watched him a couple of times,
120
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:19.000
play decent player. I I like what I see. His
121
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.360
comparables are like Andrew Copp is kind of like one
122
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.800
of the comparables that I've seen throwing out there, six
123
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:31.000
to one center, right wing. Uh, I gonna believe it.
124
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.920
I think he's got a better ceiling than cop But yeah,
125
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:36.720
I really like to pick a lot. I mean, we've
126
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.600
talked at length of being really thin on center, and
127
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.560
I don't it's I've heard a lot about this guy
128
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.480
and he's I think it's gonna be Uh. I think
129
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.000
it's gonna be a good pick long term. It's gonna
130
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.600
take quite a while though, before he's ready to play.
131
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.759
But yeah, regardless, I think it's really solid pick.
132
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.040
Twenty goals, fifty eight points, and fifty nine games this
133
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:59.480
year in the us HL Youngstown, so a really good year.
134
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.040
Relea strong year. Was one of those guys that was
135
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.240
kind of targeted in that late later round of the
136
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.160
first round and the Flames went out and got a
137
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.199
got a forward, which which was much needed.
138
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.480
Yeah, yeah, it's again long term project. But then there
139
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.040
was him and then the pick very shortly after, and
140
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.079
we'll jump back to that as well. Chase Harrington. We
141
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.600
got a fairy much a pixtick over of course, but Harrington,
142
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.800
to me, I'm a little bit more excited about him
143
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.759
because he tends to throw the body around a lot
144
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.279
and has a really lethal shot. I don't know where
145
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.319
his ceiling is though, and that's what's gonna be really
146
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.040
hard to project about him. But I think in terms
147
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.199
of a project, this is the.
148
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.720
Kind of one you want to have, right, this guy
149
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.720
I was super excited out of Spokane in the Western
150
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.439
Hockey League twenty eight goals, fifty seven points in sixty
151
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.199
one games.
152
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.120
But this guy is a mean son of a bit.
153
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.439
Yeah, And that's the thing. Like the Flames have drafted
154
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.680
so many skilled players, you know, there's room in the
155
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.399
lineup for guys like that, and Carrol's has a similar reputation, right,
156
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.079
so I think we need a few guys those that
157
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.959
can actually play. As Again, we've often talked about as
158
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.160
Flames sands well known, you know, we have guys in
159
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.920
the lineup who were just there for toughness but don't
160
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.519
really contribute on the puck side of the game. So yeah,
161
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:17.680
that's an app description for sure.
162
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.759
Did you see the video clip of him giving it
163
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.360
to to our first round pick, Carson Carrol's Carl, Yeah,
164
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.560
did you see him give it to him over the bench?
165
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.800
This guy's ah, this guy's a competitor, This guy's a
166
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.840
hard ask And I don't know, I I feel like
167
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.480
you have to have those to be a successful team.
168
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.480
And I think that's a characteristic that will fit well
169
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.960
with his organization and something that this organization needs. And
170
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.080
it'll be interesting to see how this next couple of
171
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.159
years ago for Chase Harrington and where he fits into
172
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:52.840
the mix in the future for the Flames.
173
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.320
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see, like how he develops,
174
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.559
because I mean, this is a guy that you know,
175
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.840
he could be ideally middle sick swinger with a bit
176
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.159
of jam news game. You can move up the line
177
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:03.759
up potentially, or he could be a fourth line or
178
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.519
it may not make it at all as we often see,
179
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.000
but a lot of potential there. But he's going to
180
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:10.480
have an interesting path I.
181
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:15.519
Think then at pick forty two. A trade button goes
182
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.240
off and we see the trade and Calgary moves up,
183
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.360
gives up the fifty first and sixty eighth pick to
184
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.519
move up to forty second, and they select the very
185
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.519
first goalie of the draft, Tobias Treball, goalie from Youngstown
186
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:29.919
in the United States Hockey League.
187
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:33.720
Did you hear the story, by the way, what he
188
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:34.200
had to say?
189
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:35.399
No?
190
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:41.480
No? On Flames stock he he mentioned how the Flames
191
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.519
had advised him to tell of the teams that he
192
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.000
was being arrested just to scare them away from drafting him.
193
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.360
I did not hear that, but I just.
194
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:53.559
Hearded like ten minutes ago. It's pretty funny. So he's
195
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.240
got a pretty good sensing him and obviously the Flames
196
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:59.360
do too. But big goldtender be lieve he's six', Four
197
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:07.919
uh excellent Butterf, yeah butterfly positioning is is fantastic. AGAIN
198
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.960
a project is Big goaltenders off and Our Sam COSTELLO
199
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.159
i believe it's in on last, Night no sorry today
200
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.639
his draft show about how goaltenders often don't make it
201
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:19.879
to the league for an liketh the time until they're
202
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.240
about twenty, five which obviously his exceptions to your. Rule
203
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.080
but he's got a ways to. Go but when you
204
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.840
think about that seven years from now and Where Dustin
205
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.679
wolf could be by that, point you know we need
206
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:31.960
another goalie in the, pipeline right.
207
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:34.840
Yep, OH i think it's. GOOD i think it's always.
208
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.840
GOOD i think every draft you should pick a. GOALIE i,
209
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.120
mean look at this league and how things change with
210
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.919
goaltending and how so much can. Happen it's just good
211
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:48.440
to have some comfort level. THERE i DID chucko WHEN
212
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.480
i was going through his elite prospects and his goaltender
213
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:56.399
comparable With Dan. VLADAR i didn't. CHUCKLE i saw. THAT
214
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.360
i believe he Is is he not a? Backwards is
215
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.639
he he? Kept is? RIGHT i?
216
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.440
Believe, yes, yes, Correct AND i love that as well
217
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:05.720
and as much as you wouldn't like in a, forward
218
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.080
that doesn't matter quite so, much but in a goaltenders
219
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:08.639
it's a unique.
220
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.200
Characteristic it's a different, look, Right it's it's a it's
221
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.440
a different look goalie the year in The United States Hockey.
222
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:21.000
League so the first selected is uh is The Calgary,
223
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:22.919
flames which is a little bit of a shocker to
224
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.759
to a lot of. People and with the.
225
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:27.759
Is this.
226
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.559
One, yeah do you want to go with the last
227
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:32.120
name on this?
228
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.240
One, Yeah i've got it in front of, me And
229
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.039
i'm still gonna mess it. Up But Alan shika slam.
230
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.000
Off and that's very close, actually basically the fanatics That
231
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.840
i'm looking, at it's it's, so it's a it's a
232
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.320
it's A Russian muslim, name just for those who are.
233
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.519
Curious but the first Name alan is just, so you,
234
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.399
know general white middle class and it kind of sets
235
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.440
you up in a funny way for the last. Name
236
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.120
but he, yeah. IT i don't know as much about this,
237
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.159
player to be, honest of all the.
238
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.399
Guys THAT i don't, EITHER i know. Nothing he's a
239
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.799
seventeen year old kid played in the Russ RUSSIA'S Nhl
240
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.080
league six to, one one and eighty seven. Pounds uh his,
241
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.039
strinth they, say and he slots as a bottom six,
242
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.679
forward so we'll, see yeah and.
243
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:17.919
That and that's the thing. Too with a lot of
244
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.159
these scattering, reports he looked them up. ONLINE a lot
245
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.279
of them are very very, vague you know WHAT i.
246
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:24.879
Mean like they'll say which way he shoots and how
247
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.080
much he, weighs but they won't get much into his,
248
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.120
speed how he is with the. Puck does he shot
249
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.120
away from physical play like you gotta dig a little
250
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.600
bit deeper sometimes six games.
251
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.000
And his physical play is one of his. Strengths uh
252
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.039
and uh they say he's got a motor that keeps
253
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.519
going and he's he's, Involved he's involved in every bit
254
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:47.679
of the.
255
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.120
Game toolsy is the word THAT i read a couple of.
256
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.799
Times so good, hands good, shot like he kind of
257
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.279
does a bit of. Everything and, AGAIN i think because
258
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.679
we have such a dearth of high end talent in years,
259
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:01.600
past for a lot of guys are kind of overlooking
260
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:02.840
the need for players like, this right.
261
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.519
Yep and then we moved to round, three pick sixty,
262
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.519
five and it happens many Of flames fan base get
263
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.440
their wish and uh and some not as the, pitballs,
264
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.320
right we saw that And Joe, gila right winger From
265
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:30.120
vancouver The Western Hockey, league son Of, jerome is selected
266
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.679
by The Calgary, flames and It's Flames twitter was a
267
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:36.720
little bit of buzz with.
268
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:41.000
This, yeah and like you for good, reasons right, yeah
269
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:41.879
like fifty.
270
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.399
To fifty, happy fifty to. Fifty upset not so much
271
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.840
maybe upset that we drafted, him but maybe that we
272
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:53.279
drafted him this early because he wasn't projected like late late.
273
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:57.559
Rounds, well when you watch him, play you can see
274
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.320
some of the. Similarities the funniest thing he does is
275
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:00.919
every time he scores a, goalie puts his club to
276
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:02.279
his face the exact same way his father.
277
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:02.840
Would, Right.
278
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.200
SO i noticed, That BUT i mean he he has
279
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.000
some similarities in how he plays a, game but to
280
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:10.879
play it do it as well with the same level
281
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.720
of intensity is kind of the. Challenge and it's always
282
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.879
so if you AND i were talking, right, like you
283
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.240
Could Scout North dakota the same wack And scout monked it,
284
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.320
right you actually go to games on a relatively consistent
285
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.360
basis and get a much better idea than you ever
286
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:25.519
could from all the video in the world or from
287
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.639
what other people have to. Say so WHAT i was
288
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.240
reading about guys who'd gone To Aidan olkins games is
289
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.360
that he's a moody. Player he disappears to, stretches he
290
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.759
doesn't have a great work, ethic and all of those
291
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.799
THINGS i believe can be worked. On so as much
292
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.000
AS i said prior picks for a, project this is
293
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.840
absolutely a, project AND i have no idea or it's
294
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.279
going to wind up whis with the other players like
295
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:49.720
to THINK i projected at least a little. Bit but
296
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.039
With joe, again let's it's a great. Story and AS
297
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.200
i said before we came, on The flames can afford
298
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:56.919
to throw a pick, away so it's not really that,
299
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.840
upsetting but it's a little curious that they. Did it
300
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:02.279
israelly as the based on what you. Know all the
301
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:02.840
scouts are.
302
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:08.720
Saying I'm i'm not upset that they picked. Him i'm
303
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.279
not at. ALL i questioned a little bit where they picked,
304
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.879
him but at LIKE i also told, you you, know
305
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.320
after the second, ROUND i feel like it's throwing darts,
306
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.440
Anyways So i'm, not you, know like upset about. IT
307
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.399
i will say though, that like without coming off to
308
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.919
be an ass uh.
309
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.440
You may, anyway but go ahead and, bulgus.
310
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:34.879
Which is frequent for. ME i feel Like i'm tired
311
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.080
of feel good Like i'm tired of this fan based
312
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.799
wanting so many feel good, stories Like i'm fine with drafting.
313
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:45.799
AGAIN i JUST i mean good, grief like the fun
314
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.279
we had with his father and the excitement that he brought.
315
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:52.759
Us you, know this is this is, Fine and if
316
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:57.919
somehow we could replicate it in just even a minor,
317
00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.559
way it would be would be a dream come.
318
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.720
True, YEAH i, mean but if you, could you could
319
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.080
always poded with fifteen. GOALS i mean that would be
320
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.559
cool for a three drum, pick, Right.
321
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.360
Yeah but this, whole this whole, draft and we saw
322
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:12.039
so much of the fan base just clamoring to get
323
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.799
both The rough twins because it'd be a good. Story
324
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.679
and it's, like, yeah it's a good. Story if it.
325
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:20.360
Works will the Rock twins turn out to be The?
326
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:25.480
SEDINES i doubt. It, yeah let's be, HONEST i doubt.
327
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:28.279
It like the mathematical odds of it, ARE i doubt.
328
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.600
It would it be? Cool, yeah feel good stories for
329
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.639
freaking great if it. Works but feel good stories often don't,
330
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.919
work so we'll, see, Right.
331
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.000
YEAH i, Mean I'm i'm happy that they get to stick.
332
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:43.600
Together for those who don't, Know i'm a twin, MYSELF
333
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.240
i have a twin, sister but which is different and.
334
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.720
Identical twins have this connection like The sitines, Had and

00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:51.799

monked And, forbid who were good. Players but you, KNOW
337
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.840
i don't mind it feel a good story unless it's
338
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.519
at the detriment of your, team and that's how some
339
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.559
people feel about the, people, right and it's that it
340
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:03.360
wasn't the.
341
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.599
PICK i don't feel. That IT'S i don't look at
342
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.160
it as a detriment in the fact THAT i don't
343
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:14.200
think ANY i don't think This flames organization is gonna
344
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.680
put him in THE nhl and keep him in THE
345
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:20.039
nhl if he's not AN nhl. Player and there's.
346
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.480
A hurricanes had three or four stalls in the. Lineup
347
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.160
they got Mark, Eric jordan And Jared i'm. Mistaken And
348
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.319
jared only played like one or two games in the, league,
349
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.119
right which, Whatever but it's. Cool they got to have.
350
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.799
That and it's easy for us in the outside to
351
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.160
sit there and criticize he's you, know feel good type.
352
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:40.640
Stories but and again in this, case again he's a.
353
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:42.799
PROJECT i wouldn't have taken him that high, necessarily BUT
354
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.640
i won't. LIE i was like, cool like when they announced, it,
355
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.880
right SO i.
356
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.079
Was, TOO i, mean but BUT i was also, like oh,
357
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.000
boy you, KNOW i just hoped his fan base like
358
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:58.000
understands where he's at in his, game and.
359
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.920
Well they're gonna droll down to do their do their
360
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.799
homework that that's what's gonna. Happen so even guys like
361
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.319
me who were initially, EXCITED i didn't Follow Joe aginla that.
362
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.519
MUCH i knew it was his draft, year but THEN
363
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.279
i started reading the. Reports it's still, cool but it's not,
364
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.960
like you, know we're not gonna hang his jersey next
365
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.039
to his. FATHER'S i certainly would expect us. To but
366
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:16.240
if he carves out a GOOD nhl career and you,
367
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.079
know plays a few seasons in the, LEAGUE i mean
368
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:19.720
that would be.
369
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.119
Great, yeah So i'm with. You, Yeah round, four pick
370
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:31.599
One Igor barbanov, Center segan OH l six foot center and,
371
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:32.880
uh good.
372
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.720
Vision so my buddy that scouts for The Blue jackets
373
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:39.519
his wife texting and they made that, pick and she,
374
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.799
said great. Pick and even though he's the one that
375
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.039
you know works in THE, nhl she knows her freaking.
376
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.759
Hockey you, know her kids are both good players and
377
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:48.799
one of her sons is an excellent, coach and uh
378
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.839
in THE. Ohl but for her to text me, that,
379
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.799
like for that late of a, pick like she knows
380
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:55.799
stuff about the player THAT i don't. Know, Right i'm
381
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:58.400
started reading reports and that was a very smart.
382
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:03.960
Pick, yeah Everything i've read on him has been, really really. Good,
383
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.920
uh it'll be interesting to see how all this. Goes
384
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.000
twenty eight goals on ninety one points in sixty eight
385
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.920
games For sagana last. Year he's a high cycle, creator
386
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.319
is what they describe him on and On elite, Prospects
387
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.799
so that'll be fun to see how that one. Progresses
388
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:24.160
now we get a little. Deeper around five hundred and
389
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:28.039
thirty second overall left wing From finland in the under
390
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:34.400
twenty out, There Simon Kada leaki, closes we're gonna Get
391
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:37.039
they also describe him as.
392
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.000
Toolsy, yeah but again you're getting into these. PLAYERS i
393
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:44.480
mean you you can hear it in the analysts voice,
394
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.000
too and then they're what they have to say up
395
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:50.160
with these, guys it's like good bottom six, forward good penalty,
396
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.240
Killer like you can kind of see that unless you're
397
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.160
taking a flyer on a super skilled player as your,
398
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:55.920
workout that you're gonna hear a lot of that type of,
399
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.240
conjecture you, know the later.
400
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:02.160
Rounds, yeah big guy six four and a half one
401
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:06.720
hundred and ninety one pounds described as a hulking winger
402
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.359
and something PROBABLY i still can kind of consider this
403
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.759
organization depth, wise prospect wise a little bit. Undersize so
404
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:18.880
this is and that's starting to. Change so there's that's
405
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:20.359
another step in the right direction.
406
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:23.000
There, yeah AND i think apart from finding that elite
407
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.559
center that we're still searching, for unless you, know somebody
408
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:30.319
like Kalll reshni really, emerges The flames Are i've kind
409
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.519
of shifted their focus now to finding those players are
410
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.599
going to insulate this core. Better and that's Why Carson
411
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:37.640
carrol's is such a smart pick for them, again finding
412
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.720
a backup goal tender for their potential goal tender for the.
413
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.400
FUTURE i should say like, this it's it's not as
414
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:44.359
exciting as a, draft BUT i, mean all these players
415
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:47.039
that they've taken are are, interesting, right and we've had a.
416
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:48.640
LOT i, mean even though we try to complete fed
417
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:50.839
a lot of, picks it's still a lot more to
418
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:52.960
make in the years. Ahead so for.
419
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.960
Sure the final pick one hundred and sixty fourth overall
420
00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:00.839
in the sixth Round Brody lalen defenseman Fry City usahl
421
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:05.039
and he's described as a competitive undersized. DEFENDER i have
422
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.599
not SEEN i watch A Tri city game this, year
423
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.720
AND i DIDN'T i didn't notice, him SO i don't
424
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:12.759
know if that's good nor.
425
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:16.319
Bad typically it's a good thing with the defenseman to
426
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:17.519
a point, Anyway.
427
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.359
Yeah, Probably, Yeah i'll be a good way to describe.
428
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.359
It, Yeah and from a personal point of, Interest So Tommy,
429
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:27.000
blile WHO i talked about to The monk To wildcats
430
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.000
was drafted in the first round By. Nashville Ryan, chaninski
431
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:32.720
also for The, wildcats went To anaheim in the third,
432
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.599
ROUND i. Believe so that's a good pick by. Them
433
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.279
did you have any kind of personal connections this? Draft
434
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.119
we'll just throw out there.
435
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.440
Briefly The rucks are coming To North, dakota so that'll
436
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:46.799
be fun to watch watch those. Guys you, know it's.
437
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:50.759
Good it's, interesting you know with with With verhoff At

441
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.799
first round picks for The flames playing right WHERE i.
442
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.759
Am so that's that's obviously really really gonna be fun
443
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:14.880
to watch their. Progression and uh, yeah just a stacked
444
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:16.640
and loaded team From north D coota this.
445
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:18.480
Year, yeah it should be a lot of fun for
446
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.079
you to watch and look forward to having frequent conversations about.
447
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:26.119
Them so there's still a lot of post draft media
448
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:28.319
to look. At you, Know conroy is obviously gonna speak
449
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.839
more about the players that they've. Drafted but in terms
450
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.200
of Other flames, news we do have quite a bit
451
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.519
this week that we should dive into two big, topics
452
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:39.039
And i'll let you choose where you want to. START
453
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:42.920
i guess we've got the Connors ari, situation and then
454
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:46.039
we have the big trade With New. Jersey so the other's, choice.
455
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:49.240
Let's talk about the trade With New. Jersey that's.
456
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:53.799
Perfect So simoon And, nimitch who very highly regarded, defenseman
457
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:57.680
kind of GET i guess lost in the shuffle a little.
458
00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.200
Bit In.
459
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:03.559
Jersey we've seen behind who else But Dougie, hamilton and
460
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:08.240
also With hughes as, well Actually Luke. Hughes SO i
461
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:10.200
was a little surprised by. This i'd heard The flames
462
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.319
looking at him a while. Ago BUT i really like the.
463
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:16.079
Trade obviously we have to get him signed to extension
464
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.880
as he's AN, rfa but you can tell from what
465
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:21.000
he said they to he's very excited about the. Opportunity
466
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:25.480
but it sounds like maybe playing With Sane. Perek but
467
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:28.240
we'll see what happens in. Camp but you're what are
468
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:28.799
your thoughts in the.
469
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.960
TRADE i don't think he'll be playing with Zame perek right.
470
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:35.839
AWAY i think it'll take some. Time he's a young
471
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:41.079
twenty two year old defenseman who WAS i would say
472
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.599
okay to pretty good in In New. Jersey didn't get
473
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:45.720
a lot of opportunity.
474
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:47.920
There there's a second overall pick.
475
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:50.640
Too for their second overall. PICK i, mean he was
476
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:52.599
kind of pushed to the side In New, jersey which
477
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.599
is a little bit. PUZZLING i guess we'll find out.
478
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:58.079
MORE i would say he he's going to be slightly
479
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:00.559
insulated this year along with Zame. PEREK i believe he'll
480
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.160
be also insulated this. YEAR i think White cot will
481
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:09.240
probably play With perek And ball probably With. Namag we'll,
482
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.839
see AND i think that's just. FINE i think that's
483
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.519
where we need to go with it right. Now AND
484
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.480
i see there's such a huge upside of. This they
485
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.799
did give up a first rounder in twenty twenty, seven
486
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:24.440
a first rounder in twenty twenty. Eight of, Course vegass
487
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:28.240
And colorado's not any of The flames picks in twenty twenty,
488
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:31.079
eight they gave a second Round rangers pick in and
489
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:36.920
they gave up on Defenseman, Moran so the package slightly.
490
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.759
High BUT i also think if you're going to go
491
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:43.920
out and get a twenty two year old defenseman with huge,
492
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.759
upside you're going to have to give up a little.
493
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:51.200
Bit and we didn't give up any of our. Picks and, no.
494
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:53.880
And those those picks are going to be they're going
495
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.720
to be late forst round picks we would expect.
496
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:58.240
Anyway, yeah oh, yeah for.
497
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.240
Sure and then Et mora again played For monkton AND
498
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:06.279
i watched him countless. Times really good, defenseman but there
499
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.920
was no way in hell that he was gonna surpass
500
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:12.559
in wee Same Parak Hunter davitch. Like it was just
501
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.039
so there's somebody had to be a casualty of the numbers,
502
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.960
game and unfortunately it was. Him BUT i you, know,
503
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:21.440
uh He's. Quebecer he may fare better back and only
504
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:24.240
the eastern part of the, continent we'll, see but may
505
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:26.519
have more opportunity with With. Jersey but and he kind
506
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:27.880
of get lost in the shuffle of that. Trade but
507
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:29.119
WHERE i got to watch him play a LOT i
508
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:30.920
just want to mention him as well as being part of.
509
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.839
That but back to T, MNEMACH i was actually gonna
510
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:35.720
SAY i thought for a moment he was the first
511
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.119
flame to ever wear seventy. One BUT i would be
512
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:40.880
dead wrong in. That, yeah AND i knew you'd know the, answer,
513
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:46.920
Right walker doer? RIGHT i, See, yeah well, done well.
514
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.359
DONE i thought of it right away WHEN i saw,
515
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.599
it you, Know i'm, like That's walker's. Number, YEAH i
516
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.319
believe was he the only other one with seventy? One
517
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:56.880
it might be the only other?
518
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.920
One. Yeah, Yeah so, anyway told really exciting.
519
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:05.799
Trade, yeah it was a trade that completely caught me off.
520
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:09.440
GUARD i was in a business beating you text me
521
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:11.480
and you're like another red shot, Defenseman, like what are
522
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:11.839
you talking?
523
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:13.119
ABOUT i have no.
524
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:17.519
Idea, yeah totally having a beer with a, customer like
525
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.920
we're talking about some business, stuff and then my phone
526
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:21.799
goes off and we we, know for those who don't,
527
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:23.839
know like we don't speak all that, frequently like a
528
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:26.720
few times a week kind of. Thing we text a lot.
529
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.839
More but so, YEAH i was really surprised by, that
530
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.480
and it really makes me wonder what they're going to
531
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:35.839
do in free. Agency which is only a few days.
532
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:41.400
Away of, Course Conray's mataba wanted to play, kids but
533
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.119
there's some holes in the lineup that maybe there's some
534
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.440
supplemental pieces that would make. Sense but really curious to
535
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.519
see what they go looking. For we don't need any,
536
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:50.559
goaltenders we don't need any.
537
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:54.200
DEFENSEMAN i don't think we go get. ANYBODY i think
538
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:56.480
it was going to be the quietest free agency day
539
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.599
In flames. History well you know what it should.
540
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:04.279
Be it should be, yes and we should mention too
541
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:07.160
with the. Wranglers So, Karen's Roy karen's And Sam morton
542
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:09.880
have both resigned one year kind of show me. DEALS
543
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.880
i was actually going to, yeah two way deals one,
544
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.720
year like the five to fifty mark or whatever it
545
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:20.240
is for. Salary he was actually a fifty, sorry, yes, yeah,
546
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:23.920
Yeah i'm thinking years. AGO i was actually texting with
547
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.240
the scout that Drafted Rory karen's last line a little
548
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:28.599
bit to SAY i was excited, that you, know he
549
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:30.880
got a night before maybe, yeah, saying you, know was
550
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.359
happy that he got another shot and hopefully you can
551
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:34.720
find a way to stick in the, lineup BECAUSE i
552
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:37.920
still think he's got some upside. There but point being
553
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:40.240
with free, AGENCY i wouldn't be surprised if The flames
554
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:43.079
go after a number of players to fill out the.
555
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:47.119
Wranglers because Danil monoff is back To, Russia Mark frick
556
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:52.079
has gone TO i think THE khl as, well AND
557
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:53.640
i think there's one or two other guys That i'm
558
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:56.279
escaping me right. Now but, regardless there'll be some, tweeers
559
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:58.119
some two way deals handed, out that kind of stuff
560
00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:01.000
in the case of, injury. Whatever BUT i feel like
561
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:02.720
it might be a forward that gets signed that we
562
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:04.680
just might not even think, of but time will.
563
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.000
Tell, yeah it'll be. INTERESTING i don't think we're going
564
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:13.160
to see any key roster spots filled with any veterans
565
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:14.799
or anything like that like we're used to in the.
566
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:17.599
Past SO i think the direction is. CLEAR i think
567
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.039
it continued to be, clear and we're moving. Forward one
568
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:24.240
last thing we're going to talk about before we let
569
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:27.759
everybody get on with their Weekend Connor's. Area where are
570
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.000
we going with? THIS a twenty year old forward one
571
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.359
year left on a contract three point seven seven. Five
572
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:38.160
it was rumored all week and with with the SOURCES
573
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.240
i totally, trust and when one of them Being Darren,
574
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.119
drager That calgary is looking for a second round pick and.
575
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:47.880
Return is this is? It i'm actually excited to hear
576
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:49.960
what your response, is this is it the right time
577
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.359
to move? Him what do we want for? Him and,
578
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:56.119
well are we done with?
579
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:01.519
Him i'm not done with. HIM i understand and agree
580
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:03.440
with those that say he lost a step with his knee.
581
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:08.200
INJURY i don't think he's. Self, YEAH i don't think
582
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:10.599
he's done himself any favors with his play at. Times
583
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.039
BUT i also FULLY recommi THAT i blame both parties
584
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:15.359
Because Ryan hausk has buried him down the lineup a
585
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:16.720
lot of the, time AND i didn't know his fuel
586
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:17.559
was warted.
587
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:19.839
He did mm.
588
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:22.759
Hmm but the problem, is like what we.
589
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:25.720
Did play, him we saw. Nothing we saw absolutely.
590
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:28.920
Nothing, yeah there was flashes here and.
591
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.839
There he looked like he was pulling a plow all
592
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:32.400
year last.
593
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.759
Year, yeah you were more critical of him than MOST i.
594
00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:38.039
Felt And i'm not criticizing you for. THAT i totally get,
595
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:39.759
It BUT i, MEAN i feel like you watched him very.
596
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:44.000
INTENTLY i saw flashes here and, there BUT i mean
597
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:45.799
he he had zero skill in his line a good
598
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.440
chunk of the. Time but it's still coming upon the
599
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:51.119
player to work his way up the. Lineup let me
600
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:56.160
ask you a. Question If Connor zeri was a third round,
601
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.640
pick would he have been on The flame last year
602
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:05.480
as a. Tweeler, YEAH i think, so but not with
603
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:08.440
the same. CONSISTENCY i JUST i don't. KNOW i feel
604
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:10.240
like the team's kind of failed him a. Bit i've
605
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:12.480
been very critical Of ryan huskins coaching at, times with
606
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.240
very good, reason as many fans. Have but AND i
607
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:20.119
have To, yeah And i'm not quite ready to throw
608
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.640
in the. Towel Although i'll, admit as many have said
609
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.160
well ahead of me that the postseason press conference where
610
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.359
he pretty much he said we were all. Thinking but
611
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:32.799
as a player at a, PODIUM i don't know that
612
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.000
it's smart to say, that you, know, so he he.
613
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:42.440
Was that was probably HIS i mean it was it
614
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:46.359
was bang, on AND i agreed with. It, yeah but
615
00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:48.640
probably not the right timing or the right guy to
616
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.279
be saying.
617
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:53.079
THAT i, just you know, what how frustrated he, is,
618
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:54.839
right and that's another reason we even, think, well maybe
619
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:57.759
just doesn't move. On which and to answer your other,
620
00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:59.960
question a part of your, question rather in terms of
621
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.079
WHAT i want for, Him i'm not really interested in
622
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.000
the second round. PICK i would much rather take a
623
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:06.880
chance on somebody else's project that you know they're casting.
624
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:10.599
OFF i, agree second round, pick that's almost like giving them.
625
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:17.759
Away well, yeah and IT'S i you're not, Though i'm
626
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:19.640
kind of done with the draft picks at this, stage
627
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.039
or with these players at, least so you, Know i'd
628
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:23.680
be more apt to see and move for something that
629
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.599
might work, out BECAUSE i think at this point it's
630
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:28.079
not like the connors are is gonna work out here
631
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:30.880
by a coaching change and he feels. Rejuvenated but that's
632
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.039
rarely the case and not likely the case in this.
633
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:35.799
Situation so, well let's see what.
634
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:40.599
Happens, yeah, yeah we'll see what what happens. There before
635
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:41.720
we get out of, HERE i want to do you want
636
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:43.079
to go through some of the comments that have been
637
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:51.119
popping up here on the Show Flash. NUISANCE i HOPE
638
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.359
i said that. Right says first round was, good second
639
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:59.240
and third round were. Terrible, overreach positional, inefficiency and a
640
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:00.960
romantic pick with againla.
641
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:05.799
EFFICIENCY i like. That that's.
642
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:09.039
Creative oh we picked all fours in the second and third.
643
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.000
ROUND i don't. Know MAYBE i don't think that WAS
644
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.759
i think we picked the right. POSITIONS i, mean, gosh you,
645
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.559
guys you know what's so hard about these. Drafts we
646
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:24.359
literally have no idea what's gonna. Happen, uh it's so
647
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:26.720
up in the. Air and you, know you, know some
648
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:31.079
of the other responses were or getting, here who bar
649
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:35.039
a W A. O l is so many down On Joe.
650
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.200
Aginla but he was injured this year and had a bad.
651
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:40.039
Year and you know, what injuries do play a, role
652
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:41.839
and that kind of goes back to what we're saying
653
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:45.920
With Connor. Zerry they. Do they do definitely have a.
654
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:49.039
Role AND i think all that's take any, consideration you,
655
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:52.000
know AND i think everybody In, calgary including, myself really
656
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.640
want again let it to. Pop and that's one of
657
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:56.519
the things WHEN i go back AND i look At.
658
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.920
Zari you, know he's the first pick for this, team
659
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:05.839
and so Was. GRIDDEN i Believe zarry was even picked
660
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:15.880
higher Than, gridden and SO i get MY seri, is oh.
661
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.279
Boy but so, ANYWAYS i go on for first. Round you,
662
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.599
KNOW i, SAID i look At zeri AND i look At,
663
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:27.319
griddon both from first. Rounders When griddon was on the
664
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:30.359
ice when we first saw him this, year he. Popped
665
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:34.519
Connor zery. Didn't he did a little bit and then
666
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:36.920
then you, know then we saw flashes and then he got,
667
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.240
hurt and then we were praying he'd get, back and
668
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:40.960
he was just didn't come back the. Same and then
669
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.599
he kind of got there for a couple of, games
670
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.440
got hurt, again and then since then it's it's really been.
671
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:46.759
Hard it's just really been hard for.
672
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:49.160
Him, yeah and it's tough TO i, mean it's AND
673
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:50.640
i joke about, this but LIKE i HAVE i have
674
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:52.200
A CONNORSURY t shirt AND i had A math to
675
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.720
Con CHUCK t shirt and so he's probably on his
676
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:56.559
word of. DOWN i guess it's chuper than a, jersey BUT.
677
00:33:58.640 --> 00:33:59.680
I don't. Know it is.
678
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.920
Tough and, like speaking of, injuries actually just quick, aside
679
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:05.359
do you ever watched the time That Michael stone towards
680
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:08.280
a Cl you ever see that? Clip SO i think
681
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.760
it's with The coyotes and he got hit Against, philly
682
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:14.840
that's you, know and he was very very good despite
683
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:18.440
that at, times and that's kind of it's a very
684
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:20.599
similar injury What zari was dealing. With AND i don't,
685
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:22.960
know Like Connor, zari it's LIKE i don't want to
686
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:24.480
cut bait BECAUSE i know he's going to be like
687
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:26.800
an effective forty five point player somewhere. ELSE i just
688
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:28.400
AND i JUST i SAY i know, that but like
689
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:30.719
that's just WHAT i have in my head about. Him
690
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.840
maybe it's because of the first round. Pedigree maybe it's
691
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.599
because of his first EVER nhl shift when he just
692
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:39.559
walked to everybody and damn near. Scored like you just
693
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:41.199
never want to give up on those, guys, right because
694
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:47.639
you have so. Much so we're gonna see a conclusion
695
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:50.400
of that sooner than, Later i'm. Convinced so we'll be
696
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:51.719
talking about that some. More WHAT i want to talk
697
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:52.960
a little bit more about is what we talked about
698
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:57.159
the outside of this and prior to coming on the draft.
699
00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:01.920
FORMAT i, Believe And i'm gonna sound like. You you
700
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:03.800
know you say you sound like the old. Man well this,
701
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.039
CASE i, will BECAUSE i think the draft is for hockey.
702
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:09.400
Purists it's the most boring thing on the planet to
703
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:13.679
watch unless you're a diehard hockey. Fan, right, cool and
704
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:17.119
to go through this, Ridiculously but, okay so even, today
705
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:23.280
so trade alert last Night mason, McTavish big, trade totally get.
706
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:26.360
It swopping First trump pick same, thing but to have
707
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:29.159
the big trade alert flash with the buzzer going when
708
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:32.480
you're trading a third for a, fourth like.
709
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:35.159
It's, OKAY i don't mind, this but see that the
710
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.840
insiders have already reported about all the, trades so we
711
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:41.239
already knew about him before the draft board Buzz it's
712
00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:42.280
like and it's like.
713
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:43.840
A five minute delay in between the. Two but you
714
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:45.800
throw that and then you throw on how friggin long
715
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.159
these picks took and like and you said, this AND
716
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:51.199
i couldn't agree. More how cool it is to see
717
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:55.079
the interaction of the scouts and the GM's assistant on
718
00:35:55.119 --> 00:36:00.360
the draft. Floor remember remember when When Brian burke Hold
719

HERE i don't know that if As, flames you, KNOW
767
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.159
i don't know if it's gonna be worth doing a
768
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:25.239
live episode maybe because there'll be a lot of teams
769
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:26.320
doing some other, stuff but.
770
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:30.639
We'll fire off the. Show it'll be. INTERESTING i don't
771
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.559
expect a ton out Of. Calgary, yeah and as we go,
772
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:38.559
today you, KNOW i, think all in, all a fairly good.
773
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:42.320
Draft draft that was really. Fun i'm really, fun but
774
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:43.719
really up in the. Air and you, know like we
775
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:45.199
just said a comment here AND i read. IT i
776
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:49.840
chuckled a comment that's coming in during the live. Shows
777
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.880
The flames can't draft an instant. Team people need to.
778
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.679
Chill only so many, Contracts and he's, RIGHT i, mean
779
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.840
we can't like we can draft team and the next
780
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:04.159
year we're gonna be wonderful because of. That SO i
781
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:06.119
think it's gonna be a. PROCESS i think we have
782
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.679
some draft picks this year That i'm really excited to
783
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:12.679
see how they, progress AND i guess that's that's what we, want, Right, yeah.
784
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:16.639
Yeah, absolutely and it's gonna be. Fun it's still some pain,
785
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:18.320
ahead BUT i mean even The nemas trade is a
786
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:22.679
sign that we're trending in the right. Direction as a secondary,
787
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:24.159
Thing i'll just trot the outing Because i'm actually What
788
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:26.199
i'm wearing the, shirt but The Hockey heroes. Thing they're
789
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:28.920
replacing the roof on the Four Plux arena where it's,
790
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:31.639
held so next year it's actually the second week Of
791
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.360
april instead of In, june which is great for me
792
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:38.400
because that means it's way sooner. Again but we'll start pumping,
793
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:39.840
that you, know when we get close to the new
794
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:43.719
year maybe and see what's. Happening then absolutely. Definitely, yeah,
795
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.000
anyway all, told good. Draft not as good as last,
796
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:50.000
year but how could it? Be and if for those
797
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.159
that are like upset about like maybe the Again la
798
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.679
pick or not getting byorik WHO i was happy as
799
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:58.239
see went to winnebeg try to make an argument That
800
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:00.320
Craig conrad could have done a better job as in
801
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:01.880
his three years thus. Far and it's hard to believe
802
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:03.360
it's been three years and somebody putting out the other
803
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:05.800
day like the three years went. Quick but he's done
804
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.079
a damn good. Job he's still doing a good. Job
805
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:11.760
his asset management is, great his contracts have been really.
806
00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:14.400

807
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:17.320

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.280
talk about the damage trade and all that good Flames talk.
4
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.799
I am host Brad Rood alongside the other host, Kyle Lewis,
5
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.320
and we do the s every single week, talk Flames
6
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.520
hockey and uh two long days of draft. And I'll
7
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.719
tell you what when I say along that first round,
8
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.399
Kyle holy Coyle.
9
00:00:58.039 --> 00:00:58.640
I fall asleep.
10
00:00:58.920 --> 00:00:59.119
Yeah.
11
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:00.920
I mean I did well to hang on as long
12
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.920
as I did. But I tweeted about the the production
13
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.359
of it and my thoughts on it, and some people
14
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.799
took me to task because they thought it was cool
15
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.920
having all those celebrities involved whatever. But generally I just
16
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.840
found that ex statement. Yeah, I mean, even if Gary
17
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:16.879
Bettman announced the picks, it's like we just get like,
18
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.439
he doesn't need to do it. Let's get someone else
19
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.719
to do it. But anyway, it was long, like you said,
20
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:21.840
long and drawn out.
21
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.840
Just long. I just I don't know. I don't like
22
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.519
this decentralized draft. I like, and the teams are there
23
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.840
and you can watch the GMS talking, and I don't know,
24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.319
there's something about that I don't know what it is.
25
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:35.159
There's just something about that.
26
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.480
But you just feel like you're part of the experience.
27
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.519
It's not so performative. Last night was and actually today
28
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.439
even was better. I mean, obviously it goes quicker, which
29
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:45.519
is a big plus, but the like the B panel,
30
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.359
I'll called them all the all thee respect to those guys,
31
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.640
like they did a pretty good job cracking some jokes
32
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.200
and yeah, it was, it was. It was a funner
33
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.200
today today, even though it's a lot more picks to
34
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:55.120
be made.
35
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.680
It goes quicker today, but today just seemed I don't know.
36
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:03.239
I think one of my problems this year was we're
37
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.280
not used to having that high end draft pick, you know,
38
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.560
so I don't usually pay attention to the high end
39
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.360
as high end guys as much, and I kind of
40
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.560
spread out who I study through the league, and this
41
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.000
year I was just really focused on that first ten guys,
42
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.400
and then after that I was just like, man, I
43
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.319
feel lost. I just I just feel lost in some
44
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.439
of these guys. And uh, I think that's why my
45
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.240
Day two of the draft was a little bit like
46
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.120
where are we going with this? You know what I mean?
47
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.360
Yeah, yeah, exactly what do yeah, because because I was
48
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.159
so top heavy, right, and then a lot of a
49
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.400
lot of hyper aun those players. Obviously, it's a relatively
50
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.960
deep draft. I wouldn't say it was exciting as last year,
51
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.199
which is arguably could turn out to be the best
52
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:47.439
draft in Flames history.
53
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:49.479
Not copetition.
54
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.599
Yeah, yeah, but I mean overall was it was Uh,
55
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.000
it was. It was pretty cool.
56
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.639
Let's run through the picks and uh there was nine
57
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.520
of them. We did trade one pick, and we'll get
58
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.840
to that. Let's start it off round one. I don't know,
59
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.520
I mean the first round started a little bit different
60
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.159
than what we kind of thought. I mean, I think
61
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.520
we all saw McKennon McKenna going first, Stenburgh going second,
62
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.080
my Helter going through. I don't think any of us
63
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.280
were surprised. And then Buffalo picks Daxon or Rudolph and
64
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.240
I'm like, okay, well that changes things a bit for
65
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.080
the Flames. Yeah, well it means that one of b
66
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:33.319
York or Carl's or Verhoff we're going to be available.
67
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:40.120
And then the Rangers pick Albert Smith's and I don't know,
68
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.240
to me, that was a little bit of a surprise.
69
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.400
Rattle their fan base a bit too. I looked at
70
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.199
some of the reactions on X it was, yeah, they
71
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.120
didn't love that at them.
72
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.719
A little bit surprise. And then then pick six comes,
73
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.120
and that's where the Calgary Flames come in. And who
74
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.800
did you think they were going to take it six?
75
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.560
I thought b York was going to get the call
76
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:03.840
at six. I thought if York was gone, then I
77
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.400
think Rhof was gonna get I didn't. I just I'd
78
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.680
assume from the beginning the Carson Carroll Carls would be
79
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.560
picked by the four or five pick. I just saw
80
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:16.120
him gone.
81
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.319
Yeah, I think most of us, most of us did.
82
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.279
I was a little surprised he's available. Was a little
83
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.160
bit surprised that they took him, I guess because in
84
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.279
my head, even though they do have a lot of
85
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.199
defensemen in their system, like, he's a different type of defenseman,
86
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.720
and I was just so hell bent on a like
87
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.759
an impact forward. But Calgary, you know, drafting six was
88
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.199
in kind of that weird spot where they may not
89
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.959
have been a surefire player to take then, Right, So
90
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.839
I do like to pick a lot the guy. All
91
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.360
people talk about his leadership skills and his two way play,
92
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.639
and he's already talked about how he's like the perfect
93
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.279
compliment design perx. So that's music the Flames fanziers right
94
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:51.360
there like that alone.
95
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.439
Well, you know, he has a left defenseman, kind of
96
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.759
a jack of all trades on defense. He's got scoring ability,
97
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.639
but it's also very very strong defensively, has a little
98
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.040
bit of grit to him, and I guess it's gonna
99
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.079
give you twenty twenty five minutes a night at top
100
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.079
end as a top end defenseman. And you know, it's
101
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.480
kind of funny. After we drafted him and we kind
102
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.720
of started to see how the depth chart was fitting
103
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.759
into place, it was pretty interesting. I mean, just the
104
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.120
future of where we're going to go on the back
105
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.160
end if all these guys work out and things go
106
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.720
as planned. Of course, there's so many variables, it looks
107
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.680
pretty appealing.
108
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.639
Yeah, it's We've talked to length about draft capital what
109
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.439
that means for the Flames, and we don't usually have
110
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.240
this problem, the ability to have so many different players
111
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.120
at all these positions and actually able to move some.
112
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.120
So because of that, they were able to move around
113
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:48.680
in the draft a little bit and it made for
114
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.199
pretty fun and interesting day.
115
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:55.600
Right. So, after Carson Carroll has picked, we have a
116
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.319
little bit of a break and then come pick thirty
117
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:04.560
of round one. On the next uh pick for the Flames,
118
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.360
they picked Jack Hextall, a center from the United States
119
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.360
Hockey League Youngstown. I've watched him a couple of times,
120
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:19.000
play decent player. I I like what I see. His
121
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.360
comparables are like Andrew Copp is kind of like one
122
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.800
of the comparables that I've seen throwing out there, six
123
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:31.000
to one center, right wing. Uh, I gonna believe it.
124
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.920
I think he's got a better ceiling than cop But yeah,
125
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:36.720
I really like to pick a lot. I mean, we've
126
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.600
talked at length of being really thin on center, and
127
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.560
I don't it's I've heard a lot about this guy
128
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.480
and he's I think it's gonna be Uh. I think
129
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.000
it's gonna be a good pick long term. It's gonna
130
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.600
take quite a while though, before he's ready to play.
131
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.759
But yeah, regardless, I think it's really solid pick.
132
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.040
Twenty goals, fifty eight points, and fifty nine games this
133
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:59.480
year in the us HL Youngstown, so a really good year.
134
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.040
Relea strong year. Was one of those guys that was
135
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.240
kind of targeted in that late later round of the
136
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.160
first round and the Flames went out and got a
137
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.199
got a forward, which which was much needed.
138
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.480
Yeah, yeah, it's again long term project. But then there
139
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.040
was him and then the pick very shortly after, and
140
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.079
we'll jump back to that as well. Chase Harrington. We
141
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.600
got a fairy much a pixtick over of course, but Harrington,
142
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.800
to me, I'm a little bit more excited about him
143
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.759
because he tends to throw the body around a lot
144
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.279
and has a really lethal shot. I don't know where
145
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.319
his ceiling is though, and that's what's gonna be really
146
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.040
hard to project about him. But I think in terms
147
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.199
of a project, this is the.
148
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.720
Kind of one you want to have, right, this guy
149
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.720
I was super excited out of Spokane in the Western
150
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.439
Hockey League twenty eight goals, fifty seven points in sixty
151
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.199
one games.
152
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.120
But this guy is a mean son of a bit.
153
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.439
Yeah, And that's the thing. Like the Flames have drafted
154
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.680
so many skilled players, you know, there's room in the
155
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.399
lineup for guys like that, and Carrol's has a similar reputation, right,
156
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.079
so I think we need a few guys those that
157
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.959
can actually play. As Again, we've often talked about as
158
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.160
Flames sands well known, you know, we have guys in
159
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.920
the lineup who were just there for toughness but don't
160
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.519
really contribute on the puck side of the game. So yeah,
161
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:17.680
that's an app description for sure.
162
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.759
Did you see the video clip of him giving it
163
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.360
to to our first round pick, Carson Carrol's Carl, Yeah,
164
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.560
did you see him give it to him over the bench?
165
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.800
This guy's ah, this guy's a competitor, This guy's a
166
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.840
hard ask And I don't know, I I feel like
167
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.480
you have to have those to be a successful team.
168
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.480
And I think that's a characteristic that will fit well
169
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.960
with his organization and something that this organization needs. And
170
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.080
it'll be interesting to see how this next couple of
171
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.159
years ago for Chase Harrington and where he fits into
172
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:52.840
the mix in the future for the Flames.
173
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.320
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see, like how he develops,
174
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.559
because I mean, this is a guy that you know,
175
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.840
he could be ideally middle sick swinger with a bit
176
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.159
of jam news game. You can move up the line
177
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:03.759
up potentially, or he could be a fourth line or
178
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.519
it may not make it at all as we often see,
179
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.000
but a lot of potential there. But he's going to
180
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:10.480
have an interesting path I.
181
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:15.519
Think then at pick forty two. A trade button goes
182
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.240
off and we see the trade and Calgary moves up,
183
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.360
gives up the fifty first and sixty eighth pick to
184
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.519
move up to forty second, and they select the very
185
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.519
first goalie of the draft, Tobias Treball, goalie from Youngstown
186
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:29.919
in the United States Hockey League.
187
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:33.720
Did you hear the story, by the way, what he
188
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:34.200
had to say?
189
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:35.399
No?
190
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:41.480
No? On Flames stock he he mentioned how the Flames
191
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.519
had advised him to tell of the teams that he
192
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.000
was being arrested just to scare them away from drafting him.
193
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.360
I did not hear that, but I just.
194
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:53.559
Hearded like ten minutes ago. It's pretty funny. So he's
195
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.240
got a pretty good sensing him and obviously the Flames
196
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:59.360
do too. But big goldtender be lieve he's six', Four
197
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:07.919
uh excellent Butterf, yeah butterfly positioning is is fantastic. AGAIN
198
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.960
a project is Big goaltenders off and Our Sam COSTELLO
199
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.159
i believe it's in on last, Night no sorry today
200
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.639
his draft show about how goaltenders often don't make it
201
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:19.879
to the league for an liketh the time until they're
202
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.240
about twenty, five which obviously his exceptions to your. Rule
203
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.080
but he's got a ways to. Go but when you
204
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.840
think about that seven years from now and Where Dustin
205
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.679
wolf could be by that, point you know we need
206
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:31.960
another goalie in the, pipeline right.
207
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:34.840
Yep, OH i think it's. GOOD i think it's always.
208
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.840
GOOD i think every draft you should pick a. GOALIE i,
209
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.120
mean look at this league and how things change with
210
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.919
goaltending and how so much can. Happen it's just good
211
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:48.440
to have some comfort level. THERE i DID chucko WHEN
212
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.480
i was going through his elite prospects and his goaltender
213
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:56.399
comparable With Dan. VLADAR i didn't. CHUCKLE i saw. THAT
214
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.360
i believe he Is is he not a? Backwards is
215
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.639
he he? Kept is? RIGHT i?
216
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.440
Believe, yes, yes, Correct AND i love that as well
217
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:05.720
and as much as you wouldn't like in a, forward
218
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.080
that doesn't matter quite so, much but in a goaltenders
219
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:08.639
it's a unique.
220
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.200
Characteristic it's a different, look, Right it's it's a it's
221
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.440
a different look goalie the year in The United States Hockey.
222
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:21.000
League so the first selected is uh is The Calgary,
223
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:22.919
flames which is a little bit of a shocker to
224
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.759
to a lot of. People and with the.
225
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:27.759
Is this.
226
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.559
One, yeah do you want to go with the last
227
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:32.120
name on this?
228
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.240
One, Yeah i've got it in front of, me And
229
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.039
i'm still gonna mess it. Up But Alan shika slam.
230
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.000
Off and that's very close, actually basically the fanatics That
231
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.840
i'm looking, at it's it's, so it's a it's a
232
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.320
it's A Russian muslim, name just for those who are.
233
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.519
Curious but the first Name alan is just, so you,
234
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.399
know general white middle class and it kind of sets
235
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.440
you up in a funny way for the last. Name
236
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.120
but he, yeah. IT i don't know as much about this,
237
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.159
player to be, honest of all the.
238
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.399
Guys THAT i don't, EITHER i know. Nothing he's a
239
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.799
seventeen year old kid played in the Russ RUSSIA'S Nhl
240
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.080
league six to, one one and eighty seven. Pounds uh his,
241
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.039
strinth they, say and he slots as a bottom six,
242
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.679
forward so we'll, see yeah and.
243
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:17.919
That and that's the thing. Too with a lot of
244
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.159
these scattering, reports he looked them up. ONLINE a lot
245
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.279
of them are very very, vague you know WHAT i.
246
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:24.879
Mean like they'll say which way he shoots and how
247
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.080
much he, weighs but they won't get much into his,
248
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.120
speed how he is with the. Puck does he shot
249
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.120
away from physical play like you gotta dig a little
250
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.600
bit deeper sometimes six games.
251
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.000
And his physical play is one of his. Strengths uh
252
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.039
and uh they say he's got a motor that keeps
253
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.519
going and he's he's, Involved he's involved in every bit
254
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:47.679
of the.
255
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.120
Game toolsy is the word THAT i read a couple of.
256
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.799
Times so good, hands good, shot like he kind of
257
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.279
does a bit of. Everything and, AGAIN i think because
258
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.679
we have such a dearth of high end talent in years,
259
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:01.600
past for a lot of guys are kind of overlooking
260
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:02.840
the need for players like, this right.
261
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.519
Yep and then we moved to round, three pick sixty,
262
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.519
five and it happens many Of flames fan base get
263
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.440
their wish and uh and some not as the, pitballs,
264
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.320
right we saw that And Joe, gila right winger From
265
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:30.120
vancouver The Western Hockey, league son Of, jerome is selected
266
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.679
by The Calgary, flames and It's Flames twitter was a
267
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:36.720
little bit of buzz with.
268
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:41.000
This, yeah and like you for good, reasons right, yeah
269
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:41.879
like fifty.
270
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.399
To fifty, happy fifty to. Fifty upset not so much
271
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.840
maybe upset that we drafted, him but maybe that we
272
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:53.279
drafted him this early because he wasn't projected like late late.
273
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:57.559
Rounds, well when you watch him, play you can see
274
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.320
some of the. Similarities the funniest thing he does is
275
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:00.919
every time he scores a, goalie puts his club to
276
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:02.279
his face the exact same way his father.
277
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:02.840
Would, Right.
278
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.200
SO i noticed, That BUT i mean he he has
279
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.000
some similarities in how he plays a, game but to
280
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:10.879
play it do it as well with the same level
281
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.720
of intensity is kind of the. Challenge and it's always
282
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.879
so if you AND i were talking, right, like you
283
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.240
Could Scout North dakota the same wack And scout monked it,
284
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.320
right you actually go to games on a relatively consistent
285
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.360
basis and get a much better idea than you ever
286
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:25.519
could from all the video in the world or from
287
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.639
what other people have to. Say so WHAT i was
288
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.240
reading about guys who'd gone To Aidan olkins games is
289
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.360
that he's a moody. Player he disappears to, stretches he
290
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.759
doesn't have a great work, ethic and all of those
291
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.799
THINGS i believe can be worked. On so as much
292
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.000
AS i said prior picks for a, project this is
293
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.840
absolutely a, project AND i have no idea or it's
294
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.279
going to wind up whis with the other players like
295
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:49.720
to THINK i projected at least a little. Bit but
296
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.039
With joe, again let's it's a great. Story and AS
297
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.200
i said before we came, on The flames can afford
298
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:56.919
to throw a pick, away so it's not really that,
299
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.840
upsetting but it's a little curious that they. Did it
300
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:02.279
israelly as the based on what you. Know all the
301
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:02.840
scouts are.
302
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:08.720
Saying I'm i'm not upset that they picked. Him i'm
303
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.279
not at. ALL i questioned a little bit where they picked,
304
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.879
him but at LIKE i also told, you you, know
305
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.320
after the second, ROUND i feel like it's throwing darts,
306
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.440
Anyways So i'm, not you, know like upset about. IT
307
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.399
i will say though, that like without coming off to
308
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.919
be an ass uh.
309
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.440
You may, anyway but go ahead and, bulgus.
310
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:34.879
Which is frequent for. ME i feel Like i'm tired
311
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.080
of feel good Like i'm tired of this fan based
312
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.799
wanting so many feel good, stories Like i'm fine with drafting.
313
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:45.799
AGAIN i JUST i mean good, grief like the fun
314
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.279
we had with his father and the excitement that he brought.
315
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:52.759
Us you, know this is this is, Fine and if
316
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:57.919
somehow we could replicate it in just even a minor,
317
00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.559
way it would be would be a dream come.
318
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.720
True, YEAH i, mean but if you, could you could
319
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.080
always poded with fifteen. GOALS i mean that would be
320
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.559
cool for a three drum, pick, Right.
321
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.360
Yeah but this, whole this whole, draft and we saw
322
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:12.039
so much of the fan base just clamoring to get
323
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.799
both The rough twins because it'd be a good. Story
324
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.679
and it's, like, yeah it's a good. Story if it.
325
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:20.360
Works will the Rock twins turn out to be The?
326
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:25.480
SEDINES i doubt. It, yeah let's be, HONEST i doubt.
327
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:28.279
It like the mathematical odds of it, ARE i doubt.
328
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.600
It would it be? Cool, yeah feel good stories for
329
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.639
freaking great if it. Works but feel good stories often don't,
330
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.919
work so we'll, see, Right.
331
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.000
YEAH i, Mean I'm i'm happy that they get to stick.
332
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:43.600
Together for those who don't, Know i'm a twin, MYSELF
333
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.240
i have a twin, sister but which is different and.
334
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.720
Identical twins have this connection like The sitines, Had and
335
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:51.799
we had actually a pair of The sonya twins Here
336
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.039
monked And, forbid who were good. Players but you, KNOW
337
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.840
i don't mind it feel a good story unless it's
338
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.519
at the detriment of your, team and that's how some
339
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.559
people feel about the, people, right and it's that it
340
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:03.360
wasn't the.
341
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.599
PICK i don't feel. That IT'S i don't look at
342
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.160
it as a detriment in the fact THAT i don't
343
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:14.200
think ANY i don't think This flames organization is gonna
344
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.680
put him in THE nhl and keep him in THE
345
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:20.039
nhl if he's not AN nhl. Player and there's.
346
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.480
A hurricanes had three or four stalls in the. Lineup
347
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.160
they got Mark, Eric jordan And Jared i'm. Mistaken And
348
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.319
jared only played like one or two games in the, league,
349
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.119
right which, Whatever but it's. Cool they got to have.
350
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.799
That and it's easy for us in the outside to
351
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.160
sit there and criticize he's you, know feel good type.
352
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:40.640
Stories but and again in this, case again he's a.
353
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:42.799
PROJECT i wouldn't have taken him that high, necessarily BUT
354
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.640
i won't. LIE i was like, cool like when they announced, it,
355
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.880
right SO i.
356
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.079
Was, TOO i, mean but BUT i was also, like oh,
357
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.000
boy you, KNOW i just hoped his fan base like
358
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:58.000
understands where he's at in his, game and.
359
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.920
Well they're gonna droll down to do their do their
360
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.799
homework that that's what's gonna. Happen so even guys like
361
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.319
me who were initially, EXCITED i didn't Follow Joe aginla that.
362
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.519
MUCH i knew it was his draft, year but THEN
363
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.279
i started reading the. Reports it's still, cool but it's not,
364
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.960
like you, know we're not gonna hang his jersey next
365
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.039
to his. FATHER'S i certainly would expect us. To but
366
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:16.240
if he carves out a GOOD nhl career and you,
367
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.079
know plays a few seasons in the, LEAGUE i mean
368
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:19.720
that would be.
369
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.119
Great, yeah So i'm with. You, Yeah round, four pick
370
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:31.599
One Igor barbanov, Center segan OH l six foot center and,
371
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:32.880
uh good.
372
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.720
Vision so my buddy that scouts for The Blue jackets
373
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:39.519
his wife texting and they made that, pick and she,
374
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.799
said great. Pick and even though he's the one that
375
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.039
you know works in THE, nhl she knows her freaking.
376
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.759
Hockey you, know her kids are both good players and
377
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:48.799
one of her sons is an excellent, coach and uh
378
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.839
in THE. Ohl but for her to text me, that,
379
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.799
like for that late of a, pick like she knows
380
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:55.799
stuff about the player THAT i don't. Know, Right i'm
381
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:58.400
started reading reports and that was a very smart.
382
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:03.960
Pick, yeah Everything i've read on him has been, really really. Good,
383
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.920
uh it'll be interesting to see how all this. Goes
384
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.000
twenty eight goals on ninety one points in sixty eight
385
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.920
games For sagana last. Year he's a high cycle, creator
386
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.319
is what they describe him on and On elite, Prospects
387
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.799
so that'll be fun to see how that one. Progresses
388
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:24.160
now we get a little. Deeper around five hundred and
389
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:28.039
thirty second overall left wing From finland in the under
390
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:34.400
twenty out, There Simon Kada leaki, closes we're gonna Get
391
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:37.039
they also describe him as.
392
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.000
Toolsy, yeah but again you're getting into these. PLAYERS i
393
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:44.480
mean you you can hear it in the analysts voice,
394
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.000
too and then they're what they have to say up
395
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:50.160
with these, guys it's like good bottom six, forward good penalty,
396
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.240
Killer like you can kind of see that unless you're
397
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.160
taking a flyer on a super skilled player as your,
398
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:55.920
workout that you're gonna hear a lot of that type of,
399
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.240
conjecture you, know the later.
400
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:02.160
Rounds, yeah big guy six four and a half one
401
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:06.720
hundred and ninety one pounds described as a hulking winger
402
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.359
and something PROBABLY i still can kind of consider this
403
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.759
organization depth, wise prospect wise a little bit. Undersize so
404
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:18.880
this is and that's starting to. Change so there's that's
405
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:20.359
another step in the right direction.
406
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:23.000
There, yeah AND i think apart from finding that elite
407
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.559
center that we're still searching, for unless you, know somebody
408
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:30.319
like Kalll reshni really, emerges The flames Are i've kind
409
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.519
of shifted their focus now to finding those players are
410
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.599
going to insulate this core. Better and that's Why Carson
411
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:37.640
carrol's is such a smart pick for them, again finding
412
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.720
a backup goal tender for their potential goal tender for the.
413
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.400
FUTURE i should say like, this it's it's not as
414
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:44.359
exciting as a, draft BUT i, mean all these players
415
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:47.039
that they've taken are are, interesting, right and we've had a.
416
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:48.640
LOT i, mean even though we try to complete fed
417
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:50.839
a lot of, picks it's still a lot more to
418
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:52.960
make in the years. Ahead so for.
419
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.960
Sure the final pick one hundred and sixty fourth overall
420
00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:00.839
in the sixth Round Brody lalen defenseman Fry City usahl
421
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:05.039
and he's described as a competitive undersized. DEFENDER i have
422
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.599
not SEEN i watch A Tri city game this, year
423
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.720
AND i DIDN'T i didn't notice, him SO i don't
424
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:12.759
know if that's good nor.
425
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:16.319
Bad typically it's a good thing with the defenseman to
426
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:17.519
a point, Anyway.
427
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.359
Yeah, Probably, Yeah i'll be a good way to describe.
428
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.359
It, Yeah and from a personal point of, Interest So Tommy,
429
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:27.000
blile WHO i talked about to The monk To wildcats
430
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.000
was drafted in the first round By. Nashville Ryan, chaninski
431
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:32.720
also for The, wildcats went To anaheim in the third,
432
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.599
ROUND i. Believe so that's a good pick by. Them
433
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.279
did you have any kind of personal connections this? Draft
434
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.119
we'll just throw out there.
435
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.440
Briefly The rucks are coming To North, dakota so that'll
436
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:46.799
be fun to watch watch those. Guys you, know it's.
437
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:50.759
Good it's, interesting you know with with With verhoff At

441
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.799
first round picks for The flames playing right WHERE i.
442
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.759
Am so that's that's obviously really really gonna be fun
443
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:14.880
to watch their. Progression and uh, yeah just a stacked
444
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:16.640
and loaded team From north D coota this.
445
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:18.480
Year, yeah it should be a lot of fun for
446
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.079
you to watch and look forward to having frequent conversations about.
447
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:26.119
Them so there's still a lot of post draft media
448
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:28.319
to look. At you, Know conroy is obviously gonna speak
449
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.839
more about the players that they've. Drafted but in terms
450
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.200
of Other flames, news we do have quite a bit
451
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.519
this week that we should dive into two big, topics
452
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:39.039
And i'll let you choose where you want to. START
453
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:42.920
i guess we've got the Connors ari, situation and then
454
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:46.039
we have the big trade With New. Jersey so the other's, choice.
455
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:49.240
Let's talk about the trade With New. Jersey that's.
456
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:53.799
Perfect So simoon And, nimitch who very highly regarded, defenseman
457
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:57.680
kind of GET i guess lost in the shuffle a little.
458
00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.200
Bit In.
459
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:03.559
Jersey we've seen behind who else But Dougie, hamilton and
460
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:08.240
also With hughes as, well Actually Luke. Hughes SO i
461
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:10.200
was a little surprised by. This i'd heard The flames
462
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.319
looking at him a while. Ago BUT i really like the.
463
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:16.079
Trade obviously we have to get him signed to extension
464
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.880
as he's AN, rfa but you can tell from what
465
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:21.000
he said they to he's very excited about the. Opportunity
466
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:25.480
but it sounds like maybe playing With Sane. Perek but
467
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:28.240
we'll see what happens in. Camp but you're what are
468
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:28.799
your thoughts in the.
469
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.960
TRADE i don't think he'll be playing with Zame perek right.
470
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:35.839
AWAY i think it'll take some. Time he's a young
471
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:41.079
twenty two year old defenseman who WAS i would say
472
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.599
okay to pretty good in In New. Jersey didn't get
473
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:45.720
a lot of opportunity.
474
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:47.920
There there's a second overall pick.
475
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:50.640
Too for their second overall. PICK i, mean he was
476
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:52.599
kind of pushed to the side In New, jersey which
477
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.599
is a little bit. PUZZLING i guess we'll find out.
478
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:58.079
MORE i would say he he's going to be slightly
479
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:00.559
insulated this year along with Zame. PEREK i believe he'll
480
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.160
be also insulated this. YEAR i think White cot will
481
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:09.240
probably play With perek And ball probably With. Namag we'll,
482
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.839
see AND i think that's just. FINE i think that's
483
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.519
where we need to go with it right. Now AND
484
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.480
i see there's such a huge upside of. This they
485
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.799
did give up a first rounder in twenty twenty, seven
486
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:24.440
a first rounder in twenty twenty. Eight of, Course vegass
487
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:28.240
And colorado's not any of The flames picks in twenty twenty,
488
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:31.079
eight they gave a second Round rangers pick in and
489
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:36.920
they gave up on Defenseman, Moran so the package slightly.
490
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.759
High BUT i also think if you're going to go
491
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:43.920
out and get a twenty two year old defenseman with huge,
492
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.759
upside you're going to have to give up a little.
493
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:51.200
Bit and we didn't give up any of our. Picks and, no.
494
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:53.880
And those those picks are going to be they're going
495
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.720
to be late forst round picks we would expect.
496
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:58.240
Anyway, yeah oh, yeah for.
497
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.240
Sure and then Et mora again played For monkton AND
498
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:06.279
i watched him countless. Times really good, defenseman but there
499
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.920
was no way in hell that he was gonna surpass
500
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:12.559
in wee Same Parak Hunter davitch. Like it was just
501
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.039
so there's somebody had to be a casualty of the numbers,
502
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.960
game and unfortunately it was. Him BUT i you, know,
503
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:21.440
uh He's. Quebecer he may fare better back and only
504
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:24.240
the eastern part of the, continent we'll, see but may
505
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:26.519
have more opportunity with With. Jersey but and he kind
506
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:27.880
of get lost in the shuffle of that. Trade but
507
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:29.119
WHERE i got to watch him play a LOT i
508
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:30.920
just want to mention him as well as being part of.
509
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.839
That but back to T, MNEMACH i was actually gonna
510
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:35.720
SAY i thought for a moment he was the first
511
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.119
flame to ever wear seventy. One BUT i would be
512
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:40.880
dead wrong in. That, yeah AND i knew you'd know the, answer,
513
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:46.920
Right walker doer? RIGHT i, See, yeah well, done well.
514
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.359

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.599
it you, Know i'm, like That's walker's. Number, YEAH i
516
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.319
believe was he the only other one with seventy? One
517
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:56.880
it might be the only other?
518
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.920
One. Yeah, Yeah so, anyway told really exciting.
519
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:05.799
Trade, yeah it was a trade that completely caught me off.
520
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:09.440
GUARD i was in a business beating you text me
521
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:11.480
and you're like another red shot, Defenseman, like what are
522
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:11.839
you talking?
523
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:13.119
ABOUT i have no.
524
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:17.519
Idea, yeah totally having a beer with a, customer like
525
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.920
we're talking about some business, stuff and then my phone
526
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:21.799
goes off and we we, know for those who don't,
527
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:23.839
know like we don't speak all that, frequently like a
528
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:26.720
few times a week kind of. Thing we text a lot.
529
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.839
More but so, YEAH i was really surprised by, that
530
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.480
and it really makes me wonder what they're going to
531
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:35.839
do in free. Agency which is only a few days.
532
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:41.400
Away of, Course Conray's mataba wanted to play, kids but
533
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.119
there's some holes in the lineup that maybe there's some
534
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.440
supplemental pieces that would make. Sense but really curious to
535
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.519
see what they go looking. For we don't need any,
536
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:50.559
goaltenders we don't need any.
537
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:54.200
DEFENSEMAN i don't think we go get. ANYBODY i think
538
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:56.480
it was going to be the quietest free agency day
539
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.599
In flames. History well you know what it should.
540
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:04.279
Be it should be, yes and we should mention too
541
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:07.160
with the. Wranglers So, Karen's Roy karen's And Sam morton
542
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:09.880
have both resigned one year kind of show me. DEALS
543
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.880
i was actually going to, yeah two way deals one,
544
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.720
year like the five to fifty mark or whatever it
545
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:20.240
is for. Salary he was actually a fifty, sorry, yes, yeah,
546
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:23.920
Yeah i'm thinking years. AGO i was actually texting with
547
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.240
the scout that Drafted Rory karen's last line a little
548
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:28.599
bit to SAY i was excited, that you, know he
549
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:30.880
got a night before maybe, yeah, saying you, know was
550
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.359
happy that he got another shot and hopefully you can
551
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:34.720
find a way to stick in the, lineup BECAUSE i
552
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:37.920
still think he's got some upside. There but point being
553
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:40.240
with free, AGENCY i wouldn't be surprised if The flames
554
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:43.079
go after a number of players to fill out the.
555
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:47.119
Wranglers because Danil monoff is back To, Russia Mark frick
556
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:52.079
has gone TO i think THE khl as, well AND
557
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:53.640
i think there's one or two other guys That i'm
558
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:56.279
escaping me right. Now but, regardless there'll be some, tweeers
559
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:58.119
some two way deals handed, out that kind of stuff
560
00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:01.000
in the case of, injury. Whatever BUT i feel like
561
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:02.720
it might be a forward that gets signed that we
562
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:04.680
just might not even think, of but time will.
563
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.000
Tell, yeah it'll be. INTERESTING i don't think we're going
564
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:13.160
to see any key roster spots filled with any veterans
565
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:14.799
or anything like that like we're used to in the.
566
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:17.599
Past SO i think the direction is. CLEAR i think
567
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.039
it continued to be, clear and we're moving. Forward one
568
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:24.240
last thing we're going to talk about before we let
569
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:27.759
everybody get on with their Weekend Connor's. Area where are
570
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.000
we going with? THIS a twenty year old forward one
571
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.359
year left on a contract three point seven seven. Five
572
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:38.160
it was rumored all week and with with the SOURCES
573
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.240
i totally, trust and when one of them Being Darren,
574
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.119
drager That calgary is looking for a second round pick and.
575
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:47.880
Return is this is? It i'm actually excited to hear
576
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:49.960
what your response, is this is it the right time
577
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.359
to move? Him what do we want for? Him and,
578
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:56.119
well are we done with?
579
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:01.519
Him i'm not done with. HIM i understand and agree
580
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:03.440
with those that say he lost a step with his knee.
581
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:08.200
INJURY i don't think he's. Self, YEAH i don't think
582
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:10.599
he's done himself any favors with his play at. Times
583
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.039
BUT i also FULLY recommi THAT i blame both parties
584
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:15.359
Because Ryan hausk has buried him down the lineup a
585
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:16.720
lot of the, time AND i didn't know his fuel
586
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:17.559
was warted.
587
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:19.839
He did mm.
588
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:22.759
Hmm but the problem, is like what we.
589
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:25.720
Did play, him we saw. Nothing we saw absolutely.
590
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:28.920
Nothing, yeah there was flashes here and.
591
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.839
There he looked like he was pulling a plow all
592
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:32.400
year last.
593
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.759
Year, yeah you were more critical of him than MOST i.
594
00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:38.039
Felt And i'm not criticizing you for. THAT i totally get,
595
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:39.759
It BUT i, MEAN i feel like you watched him very.
596
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:44.000
INTENTLY i saw flashes here and, there BUT i mean
597
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:45.799
he he had zero skill in his line a good
598
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.440
chunk of the. Time but it's still coming upon the
599
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:51.119
player to work his way up the. Lineup let me
600
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:56.160
ask you a. Question If Connor zeri was a third round,
601
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.640
pick would he have been on The flame last year
602
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:05.480
as a. Tweeler, YEAH i think, so but not with
603
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:08.440
the same. CONSISTENCY i JUST i don't. KNOW i feel
604
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:10.240
like the team's kind of failed him a. Bit i've
605
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:12.480
been very critical Of ryan huskins coaching at, times with
606
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.240
very good, reason as many fans. Have but AND i
607
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:20.119
have To, yeah And i'm not quite ready to throw
608
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.640
in the. Towel Although i'll, admit as many have said
609
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.160
well ahead of me that the postseason press conference where
610
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.359
he pretty much he said we were all. Thinking but
611
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:32.799
as a player at a, PODIUM i don't know that
612
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.000
it's smart to say, that you, know, so he he.
613
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:42.440
Was that was probably HIS i mean it was it
614
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:46.359
was bang, on AND i agreed with. It, yeah but
615
00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:48.640
probably not the right timing or the right guy to
616
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.279
be saying.
617
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:53.079
THAT i, just you know, what how frustrated he, is,
618
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:54.839
right and that's another reason we even, think, well maybe
619
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:57.759
just doesn't move. On which and to answer your other,
620
00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:59.960
question a part of your, question rather in terms of
621
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.079
WHAT i want for, Him i'm not really interested in
622
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.000
the second round. PICK i would much rather take a
623
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:06.880
chance on somebody else's project that you know they're casting.
624
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:10.599
OFF i, agree second round, pick that's almost like giving them.
625
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:17.759
Away well, yeah and IT'S i you're not, Though i'm
626
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:19.640
kind of done with the draft picks at this, stage
627
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.039
or with these players at, least so you, Know i'd
628
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:23.680
be more apt to see and move for something that
629
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.599
might work, out BECAUSE i think at this point it's
630
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:28.079
not like the connors are is gonna work out here
631
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:30.880
by a coaching change and he feels. Rejuvenated but that's
632
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.039
rarely the case and not likely the case in this.
633
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:35.799
Situation so, well let's see what.
634
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:40.599
Happens, yeah, yeah we'll see what what happens. There before
635
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:41.720
we get out of, HERE i want to do you want
636
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:43.079
to go through some of the comments that have been
637
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:51.119
popping up here on the Show Flash. NUISANCE i HOPE
638
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.359
i said that. Right says first round was, good second
639
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:59.240
and third round were. Terrible, overreach positional, inefficiency and a
640
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:00.960
romantic pick with againla.
641
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:05.799
EFFICIENCY i like. That that's.
642
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:09.039
Creative oh we picked all fours in the second and third.
643
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.000
ROUND i don't. Know MAYBE i don't think that WAS
644
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.759
i think we picked the right. POSITIONS i, mean, gosh you,
645
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.559
guys you know what's so hard about these. Drafts we
646
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:24.359
literally have no idea what's gonna. Happen, uh it's so
647
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:26.720
up in the. Air and you, know you, know some
648
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:31.079
of the other responses were or getting, here who bar
649
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:35.039
a W A. O l is so many down On Joe.
650
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.200
Aginla but he was injured this year and had a bad.
651
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:40.039
Year and you know, what injuries do play a, role
652
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:41.839
and that kind of goes back to what we're saying
653
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:45.920
With Connor. Zerry they. Do they do definitely have a.
654
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:49.039
Role AND i think all that's take any, consideration you,
655
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:52.000
know AND i think everybody In, calgary including, myself really
656
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.640
want again let it to. Pop and that's one of
657
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:56.519
the things WHEN i go back AND i look At.
658
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.920
Zari you, know he's the first pick for this, team
659
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:05.839
and so Was. GRIDDEN i Believe zarry was even picked
660
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:15.880
higher Than, gridden and SO i get MY seri, is oh.
661
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.279
Boy but so, ANYWAYS i go on for first. Round you,
662
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.599
KNOW i, SAID i look At zeri AND i look At,
663
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:27.319
griddon both from first. Rounders When griddon was on the
664
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:30.359
ice when we first saw him this, year he. Popped
665
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:34.519
Connor zery. Didn't he did a little bit and then
666
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:36.920
then you, know then we saw flashes and then he got,
667
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.240
hurt and then we were praying he'd get, back and
668
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:40.960
he was just didn't come back the. Same and then
669
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.599
he kind of got there for a couple of, games
670
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.440
got hurt, again and then since then it's it's really been.
671
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:46.759
Hard it's just really been hard for.
672
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:49.160
Him, yeah and it's tough TO i, mean it's AND
673
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:50.640
i joke about, this but LIKE i HAVE i have
674
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:52.200
A CONNORSURY t shirt AND i had A math to
675
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.720
Con CHUCK t shirt and so he's probably on his
676
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:56.559
word of. DOWN i guess it's chuper than a, jersey BUT.
677
00:33:58.640 --> 00:33:59.680
I don't. Know it is.
678
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.920
Tough and, like speaking of, injuries actually just quick, aside
679
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:05.359
do you ever watched the time That Michael stone towards
680
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:08.280
a Cl you ever see that? Clip SO i think
681
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.760
it's with The coyotes and he got hit Against, philly
682
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:14.840
that's you, know and he was very very good despite
683
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:18.440
that at, times and that's kind of it's a very
684
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:20.599
similar injury What zari was dealing. With AND i don't,
685
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:22.960
know Like Connor, zari it's LIKE i don't want to
686
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:24.480
cut bait BECAUSE i know he's going to be like
687
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:26.800
an effective forty five point player somewhere. ELSE i just
688
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:28.400
AND i JUST i SAY i know, that but like
689
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:30.719
that's just WHAT i have in my head about. Him
690
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.840
maybe it's because of the first round. Pedigree maybe it's
691
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.599
because of his first EVER nhl shift when he just
692
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:39.559
walked to everybody and damn near. Scored like you just
693
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:41.199
never want to give up on those, guys, right because
694
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:47.639
you have so. Much so we're gonna see a conclusion
695
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:50.400
of that sooner than, Later i'm. Convinced so we'll be
696
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:51.719
talking about that some. More WHAT i want to talk
697
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:52.960
a little bit more about is what we talked about
698
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:57.159
the outside of this and prior to coming on the draft.
699
00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:01.920
FORMAT i, Believe And i'm gonna sound like. You you
700
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:03.800
know you say you sound like the old. Man well this,
701
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.039
CASE i, will BECAUSE i think the draft is for hockey.
702
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:09.400
Purists it's the most boring thing on the planet to
703
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:13.679
watch unless you're a diehard hockey. Fan, right, cool and
704
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:17.119
to go through this, Ridiculously but, okay so even, today
705
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:23.280
so trade alert last Night mason, McTavish big, trade totally get.
706
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:26.360
It swopping First trump pick same, thing but to have
707
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:29.159
the big trade alert flash with the buzzer going when
708
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:32.480
you're trading a third for a, fourth like.
709
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:35.159
It's, OKAY i don't mind, this but see that the
710
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.840
insiders have already reported about all the, trades so we
711
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:41.239
already knew about him before the draft board Buzz it's
712
00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:42.280
like and it's like.
713
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:43.840
A five minute delay in between the. Two but you
714
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:45.800
throw that and then you throw on how friggin long
715
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.159
these picks took and like and you said, this AND
716
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:51.199
i couldn't agree. More how cool it is to see
717
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:55.079
the interaction of the scouts and the GM's assistant on
718
00:35:55.119 --> 00:36:00.360
the draft. Floor remember remember when When Brian burke Hold
719

HERE i don't know that if As, flames you, KNOW
767
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.159
i don't know if it's gonna be worth doing a
768
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:25.239
live episode maybe because there'll be a lot of teams
769
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:26.320
doing some other, stuff but.
770
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:30.639
We'll fire off the. Show it'll be. INTERESTING i don't
771
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.559
expect a ton out Of. Calgary, yeah and as we go,
772
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:38.559
today you, KNOW i, think all in, all a fairly good.
773
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:42.320
Draft draft that was really. Fun i'm really, fun but
774
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:43.719
really up in the. Air and you, know like we
775
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:45.199
just said a comment here AND i read. IT i
776
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:49.840
chuckled a comment that's coming in during the live. Shows
777
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.880
The flames can't draft an instant. Team people need to.
778
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.679
Chill only so many, Contracts and he's, RIGHT i, mean
779
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.840
we can't like we can draft team and the next
780
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:04.159
year we're gonna be wonderful because of. That SO i
781
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:06.119
think it's gonna be a. PROCESS i think we have
782
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.679
some draft picks this year That i'm really excited to
783
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:12.679
see how they, progress AND i guess that's that's what we, want, Right, yeah.
784
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:16.639
Yeah, absolutely and it's gonna be. Fun it's still some pain,
785
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:18.320
ahead BUT i mean even The nemas trade is a
786
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:22.679
sign that we're trending in the right. Direction as a secondary,
787
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:24.159
Thing i'll just trot the outing Because i'm actually What
788
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:26.199
i'm wearing the, shirt but The Hockey heroes. Thing they're
789
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:28.920
replacing the roof on the Four Plux arena where it's,
790
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:31.639
held so next year it's actually the second week Of
791
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.360
april instead of In, june which is great for me
792
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:38.400
because that means it's way sooner. Again but we'll start pumping,
793
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:39.840
that you, know when we get close to the new
794
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:43.719
year maybe and see what's. Happening then absolutely. Definitely, yeah,
795
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.000
anyway all, told good. Draft not as good as last,
796
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:50.000
year but how could it? Be and if for those
797
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.159

798
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.679
pick or not getting byorik WHO i was happy as
799
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:58.239
see went to winnebeg try to make an argument That
800
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:00.320
Craig conrad could have done a better job as in
801
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:01.880
his three years thus. Far and it's hard to believe
802
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:03.360
it's been three years and somebody putting out the other
803
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:05.800
day like the three years went. Quick but he's done
804
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.079
a damn good. Job he's still doing a good. Job
805
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:11.760
his asset management is, great his contracts have been really.
806
00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:14.400
