My take was he isn't holding his breath lol. Not that Connie can.
If you took this interview as Conroy tipping the Flames hand, you're hearing what you want to hear I'm afraid.

But that part was after he caught himself, regrouped and read off the typical media script for Flames management.
The first part where it was more off the cuff definitely told you at the very least that Brad is still involved in discussions with Buffalo.
Discussing all the logistics, rather than just complimenting the player also tells you something. Taking on his contract has been/is being discussed.
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. It's probably not imminent, but there is undoubtedly smoke there in regards to the Flames involvement.
