Treliving/Cyr/Bean on at lunch today. Awesome job by the Flames hosting multiple daily sessions.

Mostly covered the same topics. Had to take a phone call part way through when they were finishing up the season ticket holder part so missed about five minutes of Treliving talking about the deadline moves I think it was.

- Mentioned the same five buildings as cohorts, specifically Minneapolis. I wasn't sure if maybe the previous session was a slip-up or my ####ty hearing and he meant or said Minnesota (Wild) but no it's Minneapolis.
- Dustin Wolf is going back to junior next year even with contract recently signed.
- Calgary is on the side pushing for a post-playoffs draft. Like expanded flexibility for roster review and movement that having the draft after the season allows.
- Feels like they've never been this prepared for a draft before because of the volume of tape they've been able to watch. "There's nothing else to do" haha.
- Pick in the Lucic-Neal trade is still in the "to be determined" category. Calgary recommended using proration if season isn't finished.
- Huge emphasis on Lucic's off-ice and mental impact which fans don't see.
- If they use the hub model, home team of that rink will likely not play at that location to alleviate home-ice advantage concern.

- Email coming this afternoon on season ticket renewals. Basically not going to be charging for 2020-21 until a schedule is certain.
- Flames plan to roll back ticket prices for next season to 2019-20 rates.
- On remaining 8 games, option to get credit for next season or immediate refund. Flames will offer incentive to go with credit (gift card? interest applied?)
