Episode 87: Upgrading The Back End

Posted on June 30, 2015

It’s easy to sell pieces and change your team significantly in 24 hours, but it is very difficult to change your team as much for the better as the Flames did this week.

The 2015 Entry Draft is in the books and the Calgary Flames made a big splash by trading for Dougie Hamilton, and drafting both Rasmus Andersson and Oliver Kylington. We’ll discuss the Flames draft, how much they’ve upgraded the blueline – and if the Flames won or lost the trades it took to do so.

With Free Agent season around the corner we’ll also look at the RFAs the Flames qualified and didn’t qualify, and what UFAs we hope the Flames target, and who we stay away from.

Posted on June 21, 2015

In this episode we’ll break down our thoughts as to who the Flames may take with their three second round picks (45, 52 and 53) and their two third round picks (76 and 83).

We’ll answer many questions Flames fans have going into this draft: Are there any top 30 players who may fall far enough for us to pick them? Or any sleeper players we need to watch for? With such a deep draft, can we get a first line player at the 40-50 range?
