Man I couldn't agree more on that Monahan feel on Parekh. High skilled young player who seems to be stoked to be a Flame, giving the fans the feel of a new start. I'm excited for us to be bad this and probably the next few more years, but hey I'll take this over the mediocracy we had any day.
Word, we've been mid for so long even being shitty is a breath of fresh... air...
So…. Has hips made glass, will be a non factor like Monica was and even if they somehow make the playoffs will get bent over by the oilers, Avs etc? Got it
@@bungdilly6333Cowtown will always be mid.
@@AlGrundauFlamesTroll go lose another final dweeb
Conroy was full in on Gaudreau and wanted to draft Kucherov as well. He seems to value high end skill no matter wherein the draft, and that's exactly what he aimed for here.

As a pens fan who's watching the ship slowly sink, im a bit jealous to see a team that has set themselves up for hope. Flames might have winning lotto tickets while us Guins fans, who have had good fortunes, are left womdering what our direction is.
Good for the Flames all in all. I love seeing a solid battle of Alberta.
I’m an Edmonton man that is a penguins fan through and through. We have nothing to complain about. I’ve watched the penguins raise the Stanley cup 5 times in my life. Calgary wishes they had that
@@DanielZuniga-js6jt One Game Short With Your Superstars & No Depth Team!
Honestly the best hope for the pens at this point is them falling to the bottom of the league and drafting high in 2025 and 2026, imagine a pens team in 26-27 with Crosby passing the torch to Gavin McKenna like how Lemieux did with Crosby?? That core get there cups, just be happy, I'm a Rangers fan we havent won shit
@@remoteviewer57 You did read he was a Penguins fan through and through right? And, you know nothing about the Oilers!
@@remoteviewer57 I hate the Oilers more than any team in the league (even vgk). But, the Oilers definitely have depth. You don't win 15 playoff games and have a ridiculous PK without depth.
Mckenna will be a flame. I’ll come back to this in 2 years.
I hope you're right!
Just a friendly reminder, Treliving is Leafs problem now.
Thank god lol
Treliving had a pretty good off-season for the leafs.
So far I really like the direction and attitude of Craig Conroy towards making the Flames competitive once again, moving the Wranglers to Calgary sets them up well to build an excellent developmental system and that is something that was really lacking in the past. Full marks to Connie as GM , and his commitment to the path they have chosen.
Conroy is cooking up a Michelin-star roster, let the man do his thing
Yup let the haters hate
Good job by Conroy of fixing the mess that Treliving left.
I'm looking forward to seeing Huberdeau show us his great workout again this year. The rubber bands should pay off this time. 1st overall this year.
At least we shouldn't have to deal with the Kylington vids 😂
Huberdeau is so fucking bad
been waiting for this vid! keep the flames vids comin'
The rebuild is going well, but from the last one it shows how important 2-3 more high end picks are going to be needed (and more importantly pan out) for the Flames to be successful.
Our d-core looks promising, Wolf looks good. Now we need that #1 center and star wingers. Replacing the Tkachuk-Lindholm-Gaudreau line is going to be difficult, but they showed just how a good first line can have a big impact during the regular season.
Bang on! This team has a lot of good pieces but it lacks game breakers at forward and they desperately need #1 Centreman.
The Flames cannot afford to stay in the mushy middle anymore.
They should be drafting either top 10 or high 20's.
Nothing in between.
I love the direction, should be a solid playoff team by the time new arena opens , In Connie we trust. Lets gooooo
You said, In Sutter we trust, In Treliving we trust...where are they now and the team has to rebuild.
Don't put your trust in them. Just enjoy the ride.
I love Sharangovich. I was 💔 when he got traded, but he would've never gotten the opportunity to break out the way he did in Calgary if he'd stayed in NJ. And, so I'm really happy for him. I hope he continues to do well...except when he plays against the Devs. 😈
Considering we're stuck with Huberdeau I think he's done a good job with what he has had to work with. I'm actually hopeful for the future, we'll see how things pan out over the next couple of years. This next season might be rough though, but that's to be expected.
U gotta make longer videos I’d love these types but for like 7-10 mins videos
As a flames fan I have high hopes for what Parehk and Hunter can be together it might truly be special
i think they're both RD. parekh will be special.
what you need in your prospect pool are some first line forwards, and maybe a LD. but you're just starting this thing, really, so you're in good shape.
problem is, your team is too good to truly bottom out so you may need to win a lottery.
As a flames fan, we need a team that has chemistry and a solid goaltender. Markstrom needed that boot, and the guys need more ice time together.
As an Oilers fan, I'm always excited about a good Flames team. When the Oilers and Flames are evenly matched it makes the BoA way better. I was so excited when they signed Huberdeau and Weeger I thought Flames would stay competitive, but not to be. Give them a few years and they'll be right back in the playoffs and the BoA will be that much better.
Right about that time, Edmonton will plunge into another decade of darkness.
Oh man, a good battle of Alberta is so fun to watch. When they had the series in the playoffs, it was so great to watch. Sadly though, the Flames have never looked the same after that series.
@@SpicyPotatoeIt was great… Seeing Cowtown get bent over in a perfect example of men vs boys, and have their two stars leave for other teams with the other cronies following suit. Idc about getting swept by Colorado the BoA championship WAS the Stanley cup
@@DynastyShooter21Edmonton can healthy scratch Leon and McJesus in one game against the fLames and they’d still be smoking that Cowtown pack in route to a 5-2 drubbing LOL
@@AlGrundauFlamesTroll I should hope so, they are just getting into a rebuild. You probably know alot about that though. Building, rebuilding, lottery balls. Don't kid yourself old man.
Really good insight man, I am super excited to see how this next season turns out. These young guys will be fun to watch.
jumping so quickly to a rebuild after the hubs trade an signing kadri is ballsy yet smart. takes a qualified and realistic gm to understand his veteran core isn't good enough to win a cup, and expending valuable future assets for bandaids will never work. so just resetting and doing a full scorched earth rebuild is the best thing to do. 2024 was a great draft, they got quality assets for the vets they traded. keep it up with the kadri deals and 4 to 5 years they can get back into the playoff picture with a bright Young core.
Y'all got an amazing energy guy for your bottom 6 in Lomberg. Not the most responsible defensively but you can never say that man doesn't try!
Sometimes that's the guy who gets you going. Big Lomberg fan.
I've loved Lomberg since I saw him play in a meaningless prospects tournament in 2016🥰 I can't emphasize how pointless that tournament is in the grand scheme of things, but Lomberg never took a shift off for those 3 games, and he's 1 of a small handful of players I remember seeing (Tkachuk, Lomberg, Puljujarvi, Juolevi, Stanley, Connor). He made a pretty big impression on me despite his lack of offensive talent
@@justjohnny420 I saw a game the Flames played the Islanders when the Islanders were still in Brooklyn and Lomberg had just come up to the team and he ended up in a fight vs. Ross Johnston. It looked like a little kid trying to fight a grown man. People ion the stands were laughing at it it looked so ridiculous. And Lomberg was the initiator of the fight! He got his head handed to him, as you would expect, but it showed a lot of guts, if not sense.
I've followed him ever since, and he's made an NHL career for himself out of pretty much nothing. Compare that to players born with great physical gifts, like PL Dubois, who just throw them away and waste their careers. Lomberg is a good addition and obviously Conroy liked what he saw in Lomberg's previous short stint with the Flames.
There are still 2 drafts to go in this "rebuild" Next year has a top 20 similar to this year but the next 65 picks are a crap shoot. It's a much deeper draft and if the flames get a top 5......he's gonna be good, Parehk good. The may add a couple of good draft picks as well if Anderson and/or Kadri get traded. Stay tuned.
I like Conroy and wish him the best of successes.
It’s not often do ya see fans get really stoked at such an early stage of a rebuild…Love it!!!
Hear me now…
CONROY WILL BRING US THE CUP!!!!
Conroy is the man, I trust him.
I'm actually really happy with the moves made to make the team competitive in the future while also being glad that the team won't be a dumpster fire in the upcoming season.
I expect a couple players (most likely from Bean, Bahl, Miromanov, and Pachal) to become a competent but unimpressive second pairing defensive unit (~24th in the NHL). For the three goalies to push each other to not be terrible (~24th in the NHL). Beyond that the forward group looks like it could be fairly close to league average in scoring. Certainly, they will be a bottom 10 team in the league but I will probably not be turning off the TV in the first period in disgust very often.
I’m a Flames fan and I love what Conroy has done so far. It’s been a rough last few years with everyone wanting out, I’m hoping he’ll be able to bring in more talent with his history of playing in the city for so long. GM status aside he’s also a great ambassador for the team. I’m excited to see what this season brings, I’ll consider it a win if a good team culture can be formed and carried forward into the future
Conroy doing exactly what he should, getting rid of players for assets, whether it's picks or prospects. The Flames are loaded with currency, what happens with those picks and prospects remains to be seen but so far so good.
You need a center to unlock Huberdeau's skill. Should have brought back Mohney
It’s more of a re-shaping rather than a rebuild
Naw, it's a rebuild. Most of the former team has been moved. That's a rebuild.
Yay!!! Flames content!!!
I liked Conroy calling it a 3-5 year plan
The Flames picked number 2 in 1972.
It was their first ever pick.
Now to the other parts of this video.
There's a new arena coming along, and it seems as if Conroy has been given a little time to maneuver and have a "Grand Opening" the first season in the arena. I haven't heard much more than whispers, but I was wondering if logistically, you could snag an interview with Conroy. That would be amazing! I don't know about anyone's chances, but I'm sure Craig would want to promote the "new Arena, new team!" in a few years.
I keep pointing out the Flames starting in the NHL in 1972 because it's NHL franchise is older than the Oilers one is.
I do hope this new revamp goes somewhere. but Craig Conroy has never shied away from trading players away that didn't want to play in Calgary, I'm sure he doesn't mind signing them if they want to stay.
Riverside(?) Arena, here we come! 😎
I think we should keep gathering picks and prospects, then when the new dome is built, it’s go time.
This was a great video. I hope we can see one on every teams future like this.
Another top 5 pick this year is exactly we need. I feel have some really good bulding blocks in Zary, Wolf, and now Parekh. Next few years will suck but its great to see guys like Sharangovich breakout and find themselves in the NHL. Most interesting to me will be who sticks it out over these losing years. I could see Kadri wanting out soon and as soon our younger players need their bigger contracts later on we gotta dump Huby.
I honestly think the rebuild is going way better than I expected at this stage. Connie has a grasp on asset management that Brad Treliving never had. It's refreshing to not be constantly worried that the GM is going to make a terrible decision at any moment. Actually being confident in the management is a strange and wonderful feeling.
This is what can be called Part two if what I think is Conroy's five year plan, the tools are slowly and methodically being found, brought into the mix and when things start to show that the time has come we won't be say WTF...we know what will be coming.
Devils should have kept Sharangovich
I'm a fan but that's hockey and they traded him out west. I don't think there was room for him in NJ.
They’ve already have to many centers so it was good thing they’ve traded him away, but trading him for toffoli was an awful trade they lost
I've never seen most of these prospects play, but just from reports most of them sound like good middle-of-the-lineup players, which is what you expect to get in the draft when you pick 12-15th every year. You usually don't find a franchise making superstar at that point of the draft, unless you get lucky and one falls to you. They did get lucky with Gaudreau, but that doesn't often happen. The cup winners & genuine contenders usually have at least 2-3 super high end guys, and those are hard to get when you're picking 12th, and we know they can't attract those guys as free agents. But this year, if Wolf isn't the goalie he's cracked up to be, the Flames might just end up with a top 3 pick.
The flames have always looked like a team in the “in between a rebuild” purgatory. It’s always been like “ok we have some really good players, like lindholm, guadreau at the time, monahan, etc. so let’s keep pushing for the playoffs” and while those players are good it never translated to an actual good team, there was never any consistency because we were only ever scraping by and barely missing or barely making the playoffs solely because of a few good players. I think the flames should have done a rebuild a long time ago, the team hasn’t been nearly good enough to win the cup in a while, the chemistry was just never there despite having some good players. If they continue to keep doing these low risk trades to try and push for playoffs over and over it’s not gonna work, tear down, rebuild, win a cup in a few years.
Lottery pick incoming!
Hope so !
Like it or not, Calgary is doing exactly what they set out to do.
Whether it inevitably will pan out is another thing.
love it, about dam time, and ya a top three would be nice. The fact is the only way you get a first line center is drafting one.
It’d be cool to see Cole Schwindt make it up in the league. Kitchener boy my lil bro played w him. Great kid
Finally some flames content!!!
I mean come on guys… you have a couple young players with decent potential. The way teams are built nowadays, they’ll need a lot more, this is not enough to make a dent in the playoffs. There’s alot of other teams that futures look a lot brighter that’s forsure.
IN CONROY WE TRUST
I appreciate the fact that he’s not half assing it. Get rid of the guys you can, keep the ones you can’t and draft your ass off. I reserve judgement on the outcome, but there is definitely hope. The biggest challenge is replacing Markstrom. Developing a world class goalie is very difficult. And when you don’t have anything left to trade for one, that’s your only option. I’m not convinced that Wolf is the guy. Time will tell.
Bean also played on the hitmen
Flames finish just outside the playoffs pretty much every year. Because of that they will continue to finish there with no early draft picks. As someone else mentioned in the comments they haven't had a number 1 pick yet. To be successful long term in today's NHL your team has to absolutely suck for a period of time to get some top picks.
Would've been really cool if they could've drafted Iginla this summer
It’s going to be many years of dark for the flames much like the oilers went through
I’m excited for a year of fast and loose hockey from these young guns.
i just hope murray lets them fuckin tank and build thru the draft, taking on bad contracts for picks, trading assets like kadri for picks.... for at least 3-5 yrs
They might make the playoffs this year, but i don’t really know, but this rebuild is going really well since Conroy became GM, we’ve had 10 great draft picks this year but it also costed us good and decent players
There's 0 chance they make the playoffs this coming season.
@@enzy6434yea I know, I hate waiting I want them to make the playoffs so badly this year
Go 🔥go
We need two maybe three more years picking in the top 5
I am optimistic about Cooley!!! think that pickup went under the radar but I watched him a bit with the sharks last year and he was great
Cap space will be a bonus for them.
Iggy, Monny and Gio are the top Flames of all time in terms of respect from the fan base
Don’t forget McDonald.
They now have top 1,2,6 OHL storing Dmen
Flames gonna win a Cup in 2035. Remember where you heard it first!
Make it 2030 and u got a deal
Mika Kiprusoff was awesome.
I love it
my advice: build a culture. then you'll have a team, which will lead to a (good) reputation, which will lead to victory. Build a CULTURE. Like what it is to be a FLAME. Make that culture something that all the players are CHOSEN for and what the prospects are LOOKED TO for being. Then you will have something.
It’s Retool. Mate.
This guy can't even decide if its a rebuild or not thats how cold his takes are. He created an entire video out of it. "Its not going to be a boring season i don't think!". Congratulations bro
rebuild? sabres: 'hold my beer!!!'
UberDough is a salary cap black cloud hanging over the franchise
Mantha was a soft passenger in Detroit, and I had hope when he came to DC... but he was soft and invisible at times as a Cap too. Shocker he had a bounce back year when he needed a new contract. Calgary isn't going to like this guy.
Mcdavid killed the franchised with that OT goal
no he did not
Oilers fans desperately holding onto this because they know it's the only thing they will have accomplished in the McDavid era. one BoA win
that does not make any sense at all. wow
I hope the flames are bad enough to draft in the top 5 the next few drafts, only way they’ll find a legit #1 center
love it 🙂
Gonna be great when oilers don’t even make the playoffs next year 🤣🤣🤣
@@CanucksnateComing from a Canucks fan, that's laughable. The Oilers kept everyone of value and got even deeper offensively, that take is going to age like milk. Who's coming out of the pacific then?
@@jacobr4166 bro you overpaid and gave arvidsson like 4 mil 🤣🤣🤣
@@Canucksnate 4M x 2 years is an over pay to you? He played for a garbage team and tracks as a 60 point guy if he can stay healthy. If he's hurt then LTIR 🤷♂️ and pull a Vegas or cap dump him for a pick at deadline.
The Canucks gave Debrusk 5.5M for 7 years and he's only cracked 50 points one time while playing on a team that set the wins record and is top of their div every year. They even average the same amount of ice time, what are you smoking buddy? 🤣
@@jacobr4166 bro debrusk is younger than arvidsson and will be 50 or 60 point player if he plays with petey
LOL Lomberg isnt it
Cold takes
Soon as they trade out Nazem Kadri they will take a step in the right direction. They miss the playoffs they trade him.
The Flames collapse has made the BoA less exciting

@@hjallebyss2603 thanks g
That Calgary is one of only two teams in the NHL to NEVER have a top-3 pick blows my mind. The other team being the Las Vegas Golden Knights (I think?), a pre-teen team. The Flames have existed for over 40 years and have never drafted in the top 3, whereas Edmonton has drafted the #1 pick multiple times, and is only now the kind of Cup contender they were back in the 80's.
It's a shame the Flames haven't been rewarded for that. I wish I could say that Gaudreau and Tkachuk made the wrong decision not sticking with the Flames, but at least in Tkachuk's case, that's obviously not true.
I don't have high expectations next season. It's going to be a looooooong 2024-2025 for Calgary, I think. But hopefully we start seeing some dividends pay off come 2026-27 season.
Okay, you go get 100 pts in a season. Dumb thing to say, bud. Choose your words better, popcorn guy. Not interested.
I’m hoping the Flames make it to the playoffs this year, I want to watch the Oilers beat them again
I think you'll see a mass exodus of players starting with Leon in Edmonton.
@@gallant00 Nah maybe if they end up somehow losing to Calgary in the first round next year, or if they get completely shit on by another team, otherwise even as a flames fan I don’t see Leon leaving Edmonton.
@@gallant00 lmao denial aint just a river in egypt
Edmonton fans should know a rebuild when it’s happening. The flames have a better chance at the first pick than even coming close to a playoff spot. how many #1 picks has Edmonton gotten in the last decade? So many the league had to implement a draft lottery or they might as well call the first pick the Edmonton pick. The flames have never tanked to get picks, in 40 years they have never gotten a top 3. The sad part is tredumbing had the biggest opportunity to land Bedard by just letting the 2 American buffoons go and starting the rebuild there. Instead he picked up 2 mid players at insane salaries that will cripple the future. Good call in picking him up leaf’s, now he can fuckover another Canadian team
Oilers Will Be Busy Again Beating Themselves!
oiler still better
Flames are a complete joke
Calgary sucks, and the Flames do too
Edmonton sucks and the Oilers do too.
Just ask the Panthers 😅
@@jourdeflamme8235 Spoken like a True Cuckold lol
Not a lot of faith in Conroy. He just has that nitwit look about him. Players don't want to play in Calgary. Bad ownership.
I know ur trying but to me ur videos are common sense and make no sense 😮
Flames will always be mediocre
Mantha was a soft passenger in Detroit, and I had hope when he came to DC... but he was soft and invisible at times as a Cap too. Shocker he had a bounce back year when he needed a new contract. Calgary isn't going to like this guy.
The flames have the best player in the NHL Andrei Kuzmenko so the players might as well get their ring sizes checked
