Elias Lindholm is back in the headlines after a summer of speculation. Frank Seravalli reported that Lindholm's camp listens to the Flames more intently. There has been no significant progress but there is a little traction. What does it mean if the Flames end up re-signing the 28-year-old to a long-term deal? Can this be worked around, or will the Flames pay the price for their actions? Jess weighs in on staying in the soggy middle and how detrimental it could be to the franchise. Tyler Toffoli shared more stories of the Darryl Sutter saga. Playing mind games in your two struggling goaltenders seems like a wise idea. The more we learn, the more it all starts to make sense. The season was destined for doom. Jess wraps up the show with some news and notes from around the league including Brandon Hagel's contract extension with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
