CBC's last 'Hotstove Tonight' of the season dropped bombshells

06/15/2013 at 10:19pm EDT

Updated 2x with video at 11:35 PM: From, well, me, the CBC's Hotstove Tonight crew of Glenn Healy, Elliotte Friedman, P.J. Stock, Kelly Hrudey and Ron MacLean met for what may be the last time of the 2013 season during the second intermission of Saturday night's Bruins-Blackhawks game. I'll post the video when it's up, but here's what they had to say:

Shanahan and Calgary have, per TSN (and Sportsnet), been talking about some sort of front office position. Healy said Bettman and the NHL have allowed Shanahan to meet with multiple organizations in the past.

Tagging space is an issue there.

Update: From the CBC:

Desperate to improve their hockey team, The Calgary Flames have been attempting to bolster the organization both on and off the ice, according to the Hotstove panel.

NHL chief disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan has spoken with the Flames about a possible position with the organization, a meeting that commissioner Gary Bettman is aware of.

The second piece of news relates to the upcoming NHL draft.

According to Hockey Night in Canada’s Elliotte Friedman, the Flames offered Colorado all of their first-round picks (sixth, 22nd, 28th) for the Avalanche’s top overall selection.

Colorado, however, turned down the offer.

This year’s draft features three highly coveted players: defenceman Seth Jones of the Portland Winterhawks, winger Nathan MacKinnon and centre Jonathan Drouin, both of the Memorial Cup-winning Halifax Mooseheads.

Update #2: Here's the video:
