What the heck happened to the Calgary Flames? Last week was a fantastic week for the team; this week, they look like they can barely compete. The guys debate if the pressure of the Trade Deadline is affecting the team or what else might be causing this change. While on the topic of Trade Deadline we break down some of the recent trade rumours around Noah Hanifin, Chris Tanev and Jacob Markstrom.

This week the guys spend most of the show looking ahead to the NHL Trade Deadline on March 21 and what they think Brad Treliving needs to do to improve the Calgary Flames. Matt thinks this is the year to go all in to ensure a winner by acquiring players with term, and Dan wants to take a more cautious approach with rental players and wait to see what next year’s contract situation looks like. But the one thing the guys can agree on is that bringing Mark Giordano back at the deadline is a bad idea – despite the popular opinion in the C of Red.

As the Flames season continues to slowly slip away from them, we look at what went wrong this year and what the best moves are going forward, which brings more questions than answers. Should Milan Lucic be our next captain? Is Sean Monahan a viable #1 or #2 Centre moving forward? Where will the scoring come from next year if Gaudreau is traded? And is it time to re-tool or re-build?
And of course, we preview the Trade Deadline and the Flames in a very different position than usual being sellers come April 12. What players have value? What can we get? How can we start the re-tooling at this deadline? The guys answer all these questions.

What do we hope the Flames do? What do we hope they don’t do? What would be the worst thing they could do? After looking at this year’s deadline we stroll down memory lane and look at some of the best and worst Flames deadline deals in history, and how they have shaped the current team.

Six weeks from the 2017 NHL Trade Deadline, we look ahead to if we think the Flames will be buyers or sellers at the deadline – and what they have for sale, and need to buy. Dan and Matt talk about the Flames young players and where they fit into the lineup going forward. Will Monahan and Gaudreau get paired up again? Does Matthew Tkachuk stay with Frolik and Backlund next year? Where does that leave Sam Bennett? And we look ahead at the next week of Flames action, and what we can expect for the rest of January.

It’s been a week full of Flames news! The season ending injury to Mark Giordano, the recent recall of Drew Shore, and of course the main event – the 2015 NHL Trade Deadline. We reflect on Curtis Glencross’ time as a Flame and give our thoughts on the Flames return. What does Dave Schlemko mean to the Flames, and if we think the Flames got a good return for Sven Baertschi. We’ll also discuss if Joni Ortio’s injury caused the Flames not to move Karri Ramo.
