Now, can you imagine no Craig Conroy in Calgary? He was so worthy of the trade on the ice, but what he's given this organization off the ice, both as an employee and as an ambassador, is worth 234 Cory Stillmans.

I'm so happy for Conroy. Iggy may have been the face of the franchise, but make no mistake, Conroy was certainly up there and continues to be. I remember his first interview after he got traded here from St. Louis and back then I thought wow, this guy would make a great coach one day. Glad to see him earn himself a management role and I know he'll do a great job.
I'm looking forward to seeing what this young management group can do under the watchful eye of an experience hockey mind in Burke. We're doing the complete opposite of what the Oilers are doing management-wise and that makes me glad.
