Scott Wheeler Talks Parekh, Honzek, and the 2025 Draft!

On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon are joined by The Athletic’s Scott Wheeler with the NHL Draft just a month away. How is draft prep shaping up, and how much higher is the hype meter on Zayne Parekh since Scott’s midseason rankings? He had the Flames’ prospect pool ranked 13th in January—has that stock gone up? The guys dig into optimism surrounding Samuel Honzek, ask which other Flames prospects made a leap in the second half, and look at potential centre options at picks 18 and 29–32. Plus, Scott breaks down some WHL and USHL names Flames fans should get to know: Cole Reschny, Ben Kindel, Braeden Cootes, Ivan Ryabkin, and Jack Nesbitt.
