Players saying they want out, a year before their contracts are up, is the BEST thing that could happen to the Flames, yes even better than signing on team friendly deals.
It forces a rebuild regardless of what management calls it. Even with everyone back this team is not a contender. This forces the issue.
Without legit stars, it frees Conroy up to move anyone as he sees fit. This team needs stars and the only way to get them is through drafting. Eventually Murray will understand that.
