You could highlight the Flames other needs and suggest that because of Conroy's cap hit/acquisition cost that Sutter will not be able to fix these problems. Perhaps that second round pick (it was a second, right?) and extra cap space could have been better spent on another quality defenseman or a defensive foward. The Flames could really use a couple gritty wingers to fill out the third and fourth lines IMO.
Conroy is a bit redundant on a team that has two very capable scoring centers in Lombardi and Langkow.
I personally like the trade however.
