FlamesNation Radio Episode 4: Schrödinger’s Eichel

This week host Ryan Pike and co-host Shane Stevenson dive into the Jack Eichel sweepstakes. Could the Flames land him? What would it cost? What about the salary cap? What about his neck surgery? Should they do it? Would it be worth it?
Check out a podcast that definitely won’t be out of date by the time you listen to it, or at least listen to convince yourselves that the Flames did (or didn’t) do the right thing.
Plus, they (very) briefly discuss the last three games, in which the Flames captured five of a possible six points and played quite well overall, and their new bosses!
