On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by Eric Francis for a full hour to break down Matt Coronato’s seven-year, $6.5 million AAV extension with the Calgary Flames. Pat and Eric dig into why the Flames prioritized locking up Coronato long-term, how the deal got done with a number starting with a six, and why it’s a win for both the organization and the player. They also discuss what message it sends to see an American-born player commit to Calgary, and how high Coronato’s ceiling could be as he enters the prime years of his career.(35:03) Later, Pat and Eric shift gears to Dustin Wolf and whether the Flames should aggressively pursue a long-term extension for the goaltender when he becomes eligible on July 1. The guys debate how Calgary could convince Wolf to sign, how much risk comes with term for a young netminder, and what kind of offer might get it done sooner rather than later.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate.
