Breaking Down Calgary's Delicate Lineup Balance

On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon discuss the Calgary Flames’ commitment to a post-deadline youth movement as they prepare to face the Florida Panthers. With the "youth is the priority" mandate in full effect, the guys break down the third consecutive game featuring the Zayne Parekh and Hunter Brzustewicz pairing and the difficult roster balance that keeps veterans like Ryan Lomberg and Brayden Pachal on the sidelines. Plus, they look at why patience is key for recent addition Tyson Gross as he gets up to speed with the big club.

(30:01) On the Daily Flames Roundtable with Derek Wills, the crew shifts the focus to Connor Zary and his long-term future with the franchise. With Sam Bennett in town, the guys draw comparisons between Zary and the former Flames high-pick, discussing the lessons learned from Bennett’s tenure in Calgary.
