  • Eric Francis Talks Coronato's Extension!
    May 9 2025

    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.
