This week Dan is joined by special guest co-host Mike Gould to recap the exciting week of Flames action that closed out 2016. The team had some bigs wins, but lost Troy Brouwer to injury. How much will he be missed in the lineup, and how will his injury alter the Flames forward lines?

We debate who has the better offensive upside – Matthew Tkachuk or Sam Bennett and what each player has to do as their careers progress – and on the flip side we try to figure out why Sean Monahan is struggling.

Looking back on the Doug Gilmour trade 25 years later, it still looks like a terrible deal for the Flames. What other terrible deals have the Flames made since? Was the Phaneuf trade a bad deal, or a good deal?

All this and more as we look ahead to the start of the new year.
