The Flames sent Conroy on a private jet to sign Johnny. And then that private jet flew Johnny and his family to Vancouver. But then a few years later they decided to put his family up in a Super 8? Even if they did, why would a multi millionaire not get a hotel for his family and expect the Flames to do so? Something doesn't add up.
