I hate when our talent gets poached. Our Flames media has been underrated for years, it's good to see they're finally taking notice. First Ball, now Leslie.

So while the rest of Southern Ontario is moving to Calgary, he moves to Toronto? I used to like that guy.

What he said.

Leslie (and Ball last season) are two major losses.
Not just for us as fans, but you could tell the players loved him.

Best of luck to Ryan who seems like a class act and a great guy to grab a beer with.

Congrats to Ryan Leslie, he's been great for Flames broadcasts for years and hopefully this comes with a pay raise for him.

In the end it sucks to lose him, but also I'm not too sad to have a bit of a different feel to our broadcasts either. Would be nice if Rogers would update the look and feel of the broadcasts too with some updated graphics etc.

Congratulations Ryan. As much as this stings, it can't be denied that this is a massive promotion. Not a lot different than when Ron MacLean left the Flames on 2&7 to do HNIC.

lol, we all know this is so beyond unlikely it's odd to even suggest it.

That might mean Natasha Staniszewski could take over the role too. She does a really good job with the Stamps and when filling in for Brendan Parker for Flames TV.

I guess the eyes will no longer be about Flames news

I’d like to see Brendan Parker take his spot

I could live with that too.

TML is still lucky to have Ryan Leslie.
