Episode Details

Bobby, Pinder and Rhett dive into what might be one of the most interesting battles at Calgary Flames training camp: how exactly is this crowded defence corps going to shake out? Kevin Bahl, Zayne Parekh, Zach Whitecloud and Simon Nemec appear to have the inside track on major roles, but after that there are a ton of options fighting for ice time. Jake Middleton brings experience and physicality, Yan Kuznetsov established himself as a legitimate NHL option last season, while Hunter Brzustewicz is pushing to prove he belongs full-time. Then you still have Joel Hanley and Brayden Pachal battling for a spot. The guys break down who should be Calgary’s fifth and sixth defencemen, who deserves to be the seventh, whether Brzustewicz is better served playing big minutes in the AHL, and if having this many NHL-calibre defencemen could eventually force Craig Conroy into another trade. It’s a crowded Flames blue line — and somebody is going to get squeezed out.
