  • Eric Francis on the Positives From a Tough Flames Year
    Apr 11 2026

    On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by Eric Francis for another edition of the Eric Francis Hour! Pat and Eric reflect on the reality of the Flames being mathematically eliminated for the fourth consecutive year. While the postseason is out of reach, the guys argue why this is anything but a "lost season." From the emergence of Devin Cooley and Hunter Brzustewicz to the leadership of Mikael Backlund during a total roster overhaul, they identify the silver linings that suggest the "mushy middle" is finally in the rearview mirror.

    (31:58) The conversation continues with a deeper look at the Flames' recent signing spree. With Wiebe, Gross, and Castagna all locked up, the guys discuss the growing confidence in the front office's ability to recruit and sign their top collegiate prospects. They look at the remaining "to-do" list for Conroy—including the status of Ethan Wyttenbach and Cole Reschny—and explain why the next few months will be critical for the trajectory of this rebuild.
