FlamesNation managing editor Ryan Pike took to the airwaves on Monday. He jumped on Sportsnet 960 The Fan to chat with Peter Klein about the potential start of the 2020-21 season.
Among the topics of conversation was the potential for NHL clubs to carry taxi squads (rather than using traditional AHL call-ups) and what the Flames’ squad could look like, the club’s goaltending situation, the looming deadline for the 2020-21 season agreements to come together, and singling out a couple of the Flames’ most impressive prospects from the last couple weeks.
