Jonathan Huberdeau wasn't acknowledged at all during the #Flames home opener introductions. Not even with the group of players not dressed tonight. Very odd.

Two number changes - Matvei Gridin will wear 92 and
Zayne Parekh will wear 19.

Episode 390: 2025 Entry Draft Preview - Fireside Chat
Dan and Matt dive into Flames news ahead of the NHL Draft, starting with strong opinions on why cheering for the Oilers is never an option. They break down new contracts for Adam Klapka and Matt Coronato, debate Marty Pospisil’s future, and react to the latest coaching staff shuffle. The focus shifts to the upcoming draft, where the Flames hold two first-round picks. With center depth in short supply, the hosts profile potential players for the Flames to target.

#Flames fans, please remember our team can't just sign a player, the player has to want to sign the same contract. As neat as it could be to have Bennett back or Marner, you need to stop and ask why either guy would pick Calgary with where the team is with their rebuild.

The #Flames have recalled defenceman Hunter Brzustewicz and forward Sam Morton from the Wranglers. Looks like we may see a younger lineup against the Kings tomorrow.

Yes, tonight's #Flames game was tough to watch. Yes, they blew a lead against a team that they should've beat. But the comments on social media are confusing. The Flames weren't expected to be a good team, and have outperformed expectations. We shouldn't be surprised.

For the #Flames fans who hoped Dylan Couzens would be calling the Saddledome home for the rest of the season, you can take him off of your trade board. Couzens is off to Ottawa.

At one point this season it was assumed the #Flames would need to pay a team to take on Andrei Kuzmenko. But now he's been traded twice for value.
Kuzmenko has been traded by PHI to LA (with a 7th round pick) for a 2027 3rd round pick.

This is something fun we made for #Flames fans on the eve of the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. Hopefully it put a smile on your face after a tough OT loss tonight.

Goaltender Connor Murphy has been signed to a two-way NHL contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. Does this signal a Dan Vladar deal is incoming for the #Flames?

For the #Flames fans throwing around fantasy trades as we lead up to the trade deadline remember the contract clauses that players have.
Be sure to include in your fantasy proposal how you convince Kadri or Huberdeau to agree to go to Buffalo - for example.

If we have any US intellectual property lawyers in our audience, can you ELI5 how the trademark for the Utah Yeti was denied because of the cooler company when we have multiple unrelated companies that have the "Avalanche", "Kings" and "Lightning" wordmarks?
