Calgary Flames and Craig Conroy shift into full rebuild mode as playoff dreams fade, raising big questions about the team's future at the Saddle Dome. With Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley delivering standout performances in net, attention turns to the impact of major trade deadline moves, including swapping out MacKenzie Weegar and Rasmus Andersson, and how the incoming prospects and draft capital will reshape Calgary’s lineup.

Brad Burud of Flames Unfiltered joins us as we dissect the highs and lows of the 2025-26 season, spotlighting Zach Whitecloud’s surprising fit and the development of key young players like Connor Zary, Cole Reschny, and Jonathan Castagna. Will Ryan Huska optimize player roles for the rebuild, and can Morgan Frost or Wolf become cornerstones for a new era? With the final home games and NHL Draft approaching, the Flames’ strategic focus and optimism are put to the test.
