Episode Date: June 15, 2026

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett dive back into the Calgary Flames' draft plans as Viggo Bjork continues to be linked to the organization ahead of the NHL Draft. As draft day gets closer, Bjork's name seems to be popping up more and more in conversations surrounding Calgary's sixth overall pick, leading the guys to wonder if there might be something there. They discuss why the Flames could be interested, how Bjork stacks up against the other top prospects available, and whether concerns about his size are causing some teams to overthink a player with elite skill and upside. The conversation also explores what Calgary should prioritize with such an important pick and whether Bjork could ultimately be the best player available when the Flames are on the clock. Is there real smoke here, or are we reading too much into the rumours? Let us know if you'd take Viggo Bjork at sixth overall in the comments.Video Link: https://youtu.be/rq16Gk3lh-E#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #calgaryflames CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8📲 Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/X (Twitter): https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en🎧 Listen on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIiProducer: Jack Haverstock Hosted on Acast.

More mocks, more results. Vigo Bjork starting to be a name. We hear more and more after another impressive portion of his year, playing with the men at the World Championships. And you who Pipporainen, which is an excellent name. It is. I don't know if he's going to get at hockey, but you hope Piperainen? You hoopieperainen?

One more time. I think I burnt it. Your turn. I'm good. Okay. Okay, moving then. A lot of them. Also on that.

Mock draft. So, so. Mock draft for flow hockey. Yeah, familiar, of course, with flow hockey. Well, Cam Robinson, you'd know. And then who's the other guy that was writing for you? A friend of the show.

Two guys that I think were familiar with this prospect guys. Diss, I think is his name. They had. Yeah. And Harrell's go right ahead. Yeah. Are you seeing more of this now? I'm seeing some Vigo Bjork.

I feel this is kind of late. I don't see anything because I'm not on this stupid shit. But there's so much time. There's some helium. time between when kids seasons end and junior wherever they're playing and then central scouting puts its list out and it's okay this is well man i'm seeing some other things where vigo biorch has moved well what's happened well nothing but just more time to think about it but i do see that and maybe it's because of these smaller guys having success for carolina say well if these guys it's stankhoven's a dog and blake this bego biorks small guy, but he's bigger than steak,

open. So kidding. I don't know. I don't think his world champions has hurt of stock either. It's a men's tournament. So to your point, we do see sort of these fabricated rises where it's like no one's played hockey for two months and things are moving, but at least he has played recently. And I think if you

are concerned about the size, him having a good world championships against men, not his, you know, brethren of the same age, that's a good sign. So I understand the helium. It's also a playmaking center. There aren't many in this draft class. So we'll see.

That said, I'm kind of taking the piss out of guys. I do wonder. I really am. Legit option. Depending on what, like, say for example, if the flames are really, if, if Carl's is their guy. Yeah. But if he goes at five and they're looking at Verhoff or maybe somebody that

they view, do you pivot to that guy? Because I think there is some intriguing stuff about Bjork. The other thing to remember here is that like, Connie's in a room building a list with scouts. And they have different regions and they've seen,

you know, one guy might have seen this guy 30 times. The other guy's only seen him twice. I was over in Europe. I saw a Bjork play, whatever. Hey, idiots. I just saw it of this,

so I'm an idiot too. You know who's a scout in Europe? Marcus Nielsen. Oh, Marcus. Hawkins, what does he know about Swedish forwards? I don't know,

but he texts me about being in town and we should get together for some drinks, which I'd love to, but Jack says, Jack says you're going sober. now. I bet you should we get him on the show. Is that kind of what you're?

We had him a couple of seconds. We should talk to him about, uh, go Bjork. Yeah. If we're interested in Vigo Bjork, feel like he might have some insight. Yeah, let's see if he has some Vigo Bjork and so. I'm not going to reach out, but go ahead.

Right. I'll go for drinks with them. That's shocking. And then not share what he tells me. Yeah. Team player. I'm not a reporter. I'm not a reporter.

You hear it all the time. In the room. I'm going to take a, don't take cheap shots. What? I would say it would probably fair to suggest that within the flames room when they're making lists, there would be guys saying, Carl's is the bestie available here.

There's going to be guys saying, no, Verhof's the guy. There's going to be someone saying, Smiths, we really want. And then there's going to be guys saying Beagle Bjork. There is. I think that's part of this process that we just, oh, the team's going to have a list, but there's guys pounding their fist on the table for different players here. I actually think that nobody that I've talked.

to or heard talk about Vigo Bjork has this question anything he does. Yeah. Like yeah. Yeah. Oh, he's short. Well, who the, it's not even a considerate most people you hear talk to a couple. I will not name names. He's a hell of a player.

I think there's interest there. It's and I, I, I think Dito, you nail it like who's left when they get to six versus Bjork? Because I think there probably are, there might be one or two D that they'd take ahead of them. But if those guys are off the board, maybe it is. Yeah. And then it comes to, well, is he going to be a number one center? You're not drafting him. There aren't any.

This goes back to let's trade up to get McKenna. Great. Now you've got McKenna and less players. You're not a player away. You're not a player away. You're not a player away. If you can add significant quality at the expense of quantity, sure, but I just don't see huge separation from one, two, three, from four, five, six in this draft clause.

And I wonder because they've rejig the teams, you'd have different names coming off at different times. It sure seems like they've placed such an emphasis on skill, the last little bit. You know, going with Gridden late and I do really wonder if Bjork is a name to

really. And Connie hates defenseman. It's easy to find it down. It's easy to find him. Bork isn't, he's not a Russian

defenseman. He's not American. So it's, it's no mere manov. No, but fingers crossed.
