Our own Pat Steinberg is in Montreal, representing Sportsnet 960 The Fan and FlamesNation at the 2022 NHL Draft. As we wait for players to start being selected, Pat was joined by Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli to tee up the next few days of picks and, perhaps, other developments.
Among the topics of conversation with Steinberg and Seravalli:
- What’s happening with Matthew Tkachuk? The pending restricted free agent is just a year away from unrestricted free agency.
- What’s happening with Johnny Gaudreau? The pending unrestricted free agent is just a week away from unrestricted free agency.
We’ll have more news, analysis, and breakdowns of all the Flames’ picks (and other moves) over the two days of the 2022 NHL Draft right here at FlamesNation.
