The Flames Are Guaranteed a Top Six Pick!

On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon dive into the mathematical certainty following Tuesday’s loss to Colorado. With the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery officially set for May 5th, the guys explain how the Flames have secured a top-six selection—their highest pick in a decade. They break down the battle for lottery odds between 29th and 30th place and discuss the delicate balance of resting veterans versus letting core players hit the 82-game milestone in the season's final days.

(32:23) On the Daily Flames Roundtable with Derek Wills, the crew evaluates Dustin Wolf’s performance after a 36-save effort in his final start of the year. They take a big-picture look at Wolf’s rookie campaign and pivot to the emerging play of Tyson Gross, discussing how his late-season surge changes the expectations for his first full professional season next year.
