Draft Lottery Thoughts One Day Later!

On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon sift through the wreckage of Tuesday’s NHL Draft Lottery results. With the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks winning the two draws, the Flames dropped from fourth to sixth overall—the absolute worst-case scenario for the organization. The guys clear out a heated text line as fans react to the results and the frustration of sliding down the board. They discuss why, despite the disappointment, picking at number six still provides a massive opportunity for the rebuild and whether the caliber of player available actually shifts between the fourth and sixth spots.

(30:44) Daily Faceoff’s Steven Ellis joins the show to provide an early scouting report on the talent available at number six. Steven breaks down why Gavin McKenna is the undisputed top prize for Toronto and explores the possibility of Caleb Malhotra being available for Calgary. They also dive into international names like Viggo Bjork and Alberts Smits, and why Steven has the Flames selecting defenseman Carson Carels in his latest mock draft.
