I do think Conroy is potentially a plan B. The one interesting move I could potentially see happening is a GM swap between the Flames and Leafs. I think Treliving could definitely be someone Toronto goes after if the Leafs lose to Tampa. By all accounts their ownership group was not comfortable offering Dubas an extension. I wonder if the Flames take a serious run at him but they likely will need to outbid Pittsburgh for his services. Does Dubas prefer to limp along the Crosby-Malkin Pens and embark on an eventual rebuild or try and retool a Flames team that has some rough contracts on the books? He will want the autonomy to fire Sutter which we are not sure ownership would give him?
