Eric Francis on Conroy's Extension, the Maloney Mess, and More!

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Eric Francis dive into the biggest storyline of the week: Elliotte Friedman’s report that the Flames and GM Craig Conroy are closing in on a contract extension. They break down why this move always felt inevitable, why the timing of the leak stood out, and why not re-signing Conroy would’ve been a major organizational blunder. Pat and Eric look at Conroy’s impact over his first two years, what his steady approach has meant during the team’s transition, and how this extension sets the tone heading into U.S. Thanksgiving.

(31:55) Pat and Eric shift the conversation toward what comes next for the Flames. With the Conroy extension essentially a formality, they explore the big-picture questions still facing the organization, the direction this roster should take moving forward, and what kind of decisions could define the next phase of Calgary’s hybrid rebuild.
