The Calgary Flames have made another round of cuts and Matvei Griden and Rory Kerins have made it another day. The two young forwards have fought the entire preseason for a roster spot. In a perfect world, they would both make it. Due to the Flames plethora of forwards, that is unlikely. Join Jessica cBelmosto as she shares her thoughts on the latest rounds of cuts, Parekh and Kerins on the PP AND the risk of putting Kerins on waivers. Rory Kerins Survives Another Round of Cuts, Zayne Parekh a shoe in??https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSceDAGvzezmR5Fyo_a-VEg

Rory Kerins is having himself one heck of a camp. The Flames risk losing him to waivers should they decide he isn't cut out for the NHL roster. Are the Flames willing to take that risk on an emerging NHL centre? Kerins is second in points before Morgan Frost this preseason. Martin Pospisil has some room to grow and room for improvement. He had a tough sophomore slump and looks like the odd man out. Can him and Sam Honzek try to bring out the best in each other and mkae each other better players? Plus, is Zayne Parekh ready to QB the powerplay? Does Rory Kerins have what it takes? Can Martin Pospisil BOUNCE BACK?https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSceDAGvzezmR5Fyo_a-VEg

The stakes are high for Calgary Flames prospect Zayne Parekh. He has continued to play at a high level, giving Huska a run for his money for assembling an opening night roster. Plus, Rory Kerins may need a closer look. He has limited NHL experience BUT he has a lot to offer. Can the Flames find a spot for the promising centre? Plus, Jessica shares her thoughts ahead of the Flames match up against the Vancouver Canucks. We wrap up the show with trade rumours involving Rasmus Andersson & Nazem Kadri.

The Calgary Flames are set to faceoff against the Seattle Kraken in another preseason game at the Saddledome. Jonathan Huberdeau and Yegor Sharangovich are back in the line up while Mikael Backlund and other veterans are out. Are the Flames willing to extend Rasmus Andersson or is that door shut? Plus, preliminary talks about a Ryan Huska extension have begun. Zayne Parekh and Morgan Frost look to build off positive momentum against Seattle Kraken

Jonathan Huberdeau missed practice and the first preseason match up against the Edmonton Oilers. Is he battling an injury or are the Flames just playing it safe? His first year in Calgary came after a career year in Florida... and so did an injury. Are we seeing something similar after his 28 goal season? Plus, Jessica recaps the stand out players like Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost. Just what is there to be concerned about ahead of the season? Can the Flames count on the same level of offense and goaltending?

Jonathan Huberdeau missed the second day of Calgary Flames training camp due to maintenance. Hopefully, this isn't setting the tone for the season. Anyone else having flashbacks to Huberdeau's first season in Calgary? There's a brand new first liner joining Nazem Kadri & Matt Coronato. How will things progress this weekend in scrimmages? Plus, Jessica Belmosto shares her thoughts on Ryan Huska's plans and expectations for recently extended Matt Coronato.

The Calgary Flames are back to to work at the Scotiabank Saddledome! Training camp has kicked off and the players are back at it. Players like Zayne Parekh and Samuel Honzek are looking to make the NHL roster. There is a lot to look forward to this season and the development of young Flames is just that! The Rasmus Andersson trade looms overhead as we wait for the best offer. Could Craig Conroy wait until the trade deadline to move the pending UFA or will he sell early to avoid any more risk?

The Calgary Flames announced today that captain Mikael Backlund signed a two year extension. The captain gets his wish of playing in the new building. The final year of his deal will be the first year at Scotia Place. How does this bode for the up and coming centres? How will the Flames navigate utilizing Connor Zary to his fullest potential and avoid another Sam Bennett situation? Plus, Jessica goes over the training camp roster and just how things look for Zayne Parekh.

Zayne Parekh is looking to make the Calgary Flames opening night roster after a monster season in the OHL. Headcoach Ryan Huska does not want him to feel as if the weight of the world is on his shoulders. The expectation is there but it's no more than that. Connor Zary is hoping to make a comeback after suffering back to back knee injuries that ended his season in March. Can the Calgary Flames overcome their offensive woes?

Aydar Suniev and Matvei Gridin did not disappoint this past weekend. The duo will likely make Ryan Huska and Craig Conroy's life a lot harder when it comes to final roster cuts. Both have an offensive presence that the Calgary Flames are in desperate need of. How does having limited roster spots impact those decisions as well as moving the Flames rebuild along. Having veterans is great but what happens when they create a log jam? Can the Flames follow the San Jose Sharks approach in shipping out the older players regardless of their allegince to the organization?

Sam Honzek is one of the many prospects looking for an invite to main camp. He is hoping to repeat last season and make the NHL roster. Honzek bulked up and put on 15 pounds. The additional weight will likely help in avoiding injury as well as his own physicality. There are plenty of players to watch this time around along with Honzek. Aydar Suniev is one of them. Plus, Jessica shares her thoughts on the Flames possibly singing one of the recently reinstated 2018 team canada players.

We wrap up the show with a possible timeline of when Rasmus Andersson is likely to get traded.

Dustin Wolf signed a seven year, $7.5m extension with the Calgary Flames. The goaltender was a Calder Trophy finalist and put himself in several record books. He had 29 wins last season which leads the question to can he hit more than that this season? With the instability in goaltending, can the Flames count on Dustin Wolf or is it fair to raise an eyebrow considering Jeremy Swayman's down year as well as Igor Shesterkin's decline after signing a big deal? What does this mean for the Calgary Flames organization? Matt Coronato will have his American buddy around while they work toward the ultimate goal of the Stanley Cup.

The Calgary Flames are entering another season of their rebuild. With the Flames looking to get younger means there are difficult moves that have to be made. Today, Jessica Belmosto shares her thoughts on the expectations for Matt Coronato and Jonathan Huberdeau? Is there a world where Aydar Suniev makes the NHL roster? What are the implications of Zayne Parekh starting in a more sheltered role? Dustin Wolf has been named the starter but can Devin Cooley and Ivan Prosvetov duke it out for the backup role?

Connor Zary signed a three year $3.775m extension. After an offseason of negotiating and stalemates, they have come to an agreement. Zary suffered two severe knee injuries that derailed his season. Zary could've had a 20+ goal campaign but it was cut short. Can Zary bounce back after missing nearly 30 games? What are the expectations for the young forward moving into this deal?

The inevitable Rasmus Andersson trade will dominate the Calgary Flames and NHL headlines. There is still plenty to watch for with this emerging group of Flames players. Martin Pospisil looks to bounce back after his sophomore slump. Will his concussion history be a factor this year? Can he keep it take and not end up suspended? Kevin Bahl has thrived in his new role as a top pairing dman. He played alongside Rasmus Andersson and took a giant leap in play. Can he build off the momentum? Will he be able to adjust if he finds himself on a new pair? What does Joel Farabee have to prove? Well, everything.

Dustin Wolf had an incredible rookie year. He won 29 games, 3 shutout and was a Calder Trophy finalist on a team that he dragged to the finish line. Could he be the next Calgary Flame goaltender to hit a 35 win mark? The Flames have a bit of work cut out for them before that becomes a possibility. It's not just on Dustin Wolf though. The forward group has to step up and start scoring. With the help of Matt Coronato and Nazem Kadri, the Flames may just be able to get there. Plus, Jessica Belmosto shares her thoughts on the latest update on contract negotiation front with Connor Zary.

The Calgary Flames finished second to last in scoring last season. With the likes of Matthew Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau no longer carrying the Flames offense, it is up to players like Jonathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri to pick up where they left off three years ago. Unfortunately, that isn't possible. How can the Flames properly develop young stars when there is very limited room for them in the line up? Can they take a page out of the San Jose Sharks book and trade off some veterans? Does headcoach Ryan Huska have a longer leash than previous Flames coaches like Geoff Ward? Will he be behind the bench when Scotia Place opens? Just where will the Flames finish this season? Could this be the year the Sharks finish ahead of them?

But ultimately, are the Flames ready to go back to the playoffs? Today, Jessica shares her questions ahead of the season. Will there be enough spots for these young players to crack the line up? Can Conroy find a way to move ship out players like Jake Bean and Daniil Miromanov?
