Barn Burner: Boomer & Pinder with Rhett Warrener - Could Cale Makar Actually COME HOME To Calgary?? 🙏 | BB Clips

Episode Date: February 6, 2026

Boomer, Pinder & Rhett debate the dream scenario of Cale Makar one day returning home to Calgary, Alberta and suiting up for the Calgary Flames. With Makar’s contract with the Colorado Avalanche set to expire after the 2026–27 season, the guys discuss whether the Flames should start planning now to bring the superstar defenseman home, what it would take to make it happen, and how franchise-altering a move like this could be. From cap space to roster construction, we break down why Calgary should do everything possible to land Makar — and yes… please come home, Cale.Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/kYRGFSAjUgY#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #calgaryflames #calgary #coloradoavalanche 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.

I've been sitting on this for a while. Oh, all of Mexico? No, well, it's even longer than that. Really? You know,

we have these conversations and we talk about when the building's ready and who are you draft and what are you doing this? There's one thing. It's not Jason Robertson. It's not Trevor Zegro's.

It's not that. It's like, the number one. When Connie tucks himself into bed at night, you're cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap,

The sun rises and sets with Kale Makar. That is the Golden Goose, new building. Take your picks, your cap space, move heaven and earth. For the Calgary kid who loved the flames growing up and will be a free agent, has won a Stanley Cup. It's... And there's Mission McKenna. but there is no mission greater than Kail Makar.

Mission McCar. We'll come up with something better. Dude, where's McCar? That's the one. Yeah, and it's tough because why? Outbid, everybody. Well, it's not even no bid. Colorado's going to sit him down July 1, 26, a year before he's out and say,

here's 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 a year. Are they? They're cheap bastards, sir. Well, they've been cheap because they don't. know that McCar's coming up. But they've got some money that they've spent and will continue. They're wealthy, but they're cheap. I'll tell you, they will not be surprised and or taken aback by his contractual.

But here's the thing. Connie can't control that. Nope. Those teams are going to do what they do. All you can do is be the sexiest son of a gun that you can be. That's right. Your string. Yeah, your man's genie on and strut around.

Yep. Get yourself all waxed up there, Connie and trim and proper. get a nice new suit. Nails are done. Or dye some of that gray. That's the one. You're drunk, hey? No, I'm serious.

It's a great idea. It's just a never one. Calgary guy. So basically what you're saying is what Leifsh fans have been saying for five years about McDavid? Yes. Got it. Eberley? Well, these guys, there's Calgary guys.

No, no, no, no, no. We're talking about superstars. Superstar. Prime. You're drunk. I'm not drunk. You're drunk. You don't want Kail McCar?

I want him. It's just like I can want Cindy Crawford. It doesn't mean I'm getting Cindy Crawford. She liked me once. Really? Oh boy. I got to hear that story. Let's go for a drink.

That was Carl Crawford. It was in my neural legs. Playing for the Marlins. That was Corey Crawford. You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what?

That's brilliant, team. I believe. Do you have? inside track have you been talking to people i think he would like to play here i also think it's tough to leave the spot he's in because it's tough again those things you can't control all you can control is the case that you bill that's why come on farcus get this city going let's go let's go we already bought the billionaire new rink what else you need them to do that's the freaking fuck parkis that rolls off the time freaking ninchy yeah yeah no i think there'd be an appetite i don't think

it's again is it is it a swing yeah it's take shot but and and who's your prohibitive favorite to win a cup this year abs good win another cup now you go win another one perfect don't need to stick around here done it that's how it works I'm trying to think of an example of a superstar on a team winning cups that does decide to leave when that team is still in their competitive window to come to Calgary. Oh, just anywhere like hometown, sure. Because there's guys that want to play places and I get that and there's guys that are superstars and leave, but to see a superstar leave.

Jonathan Taves. He didn't go anywhere else. Their window was closed. It was well closed. It would be like Taves leaving after the second cup. That's what you're asking for. He stayed for three. But he had the long term deal.

And I'm telling you, that's what the abs are trying to get with. No, but he wasn't in that. spot. Anyway, when they were in the thick of all that, they had four or five years left on their... Can't we have nice things here? Love nice things. Oh. Help some nice things. Yeah. Got new rank. Look, I love that idea. New pipe. New pipe. Like, I'll ask you, what's the probability out of 100? Or scale of 1 to 10. Jack ometer stop. How confident are you that could happen? Five is like 50, 50, 10 is it's got to happen. Zero is no chance in hell. Pick a number.

Because we all love the dream. We do. 10% chance. I feel like for whatever reason, I feel like this one, because yeah, got an inkling? I do.

We got an inkling. Ordinarily, it'd be just, oh, yeah, that's nice. Yeah, we'll talk to Kentucky. We're not going to Calgary.

I do think there is a, there's an intriguing side to the, to the player about being a Calgary flame. I think he would like to be a flame at some point in his life. I agree with that. That's what I'm glad to believe. Give us a number out of 10. that's what you do to us remember 50-50s like that's pretty good oh hell yeah

50 50 like you've really got a guy thinking now hedge of tails could determine this whole thing that's real good that's why this is on Conroy you're right don't drop the ball Connie don't get me wrong I got Connie fitness but that I'll go a smidge lower I'll go sorry do you say for the third thoroughly yeah Oh, okay. So that's three and a half. I'm going to stick to that until further notice. I speak wafflees. That's a three and a half.

Am I right, Dean, or am I right? It's the floor. It's the floor.
