Firesale or not, rebuild or not.. I am just happy that Treliving is no longer here. This isn't to say he was a crappy GM, but there were too many issues. We can argue about what those were or weren't, but at the end of the day, that GM was never able to achieve any sort of playoff success in his 9 years here, and above all other reasons, that's why I wanted him gone.
I think Conroy will do a good job at re-stabilizing this franchise. Whether or not he rebuilds, I also think Conroy will prioritize draft picks a little more. He has worked much closer with that department - and has scouted a lot himself as well.
I 100% prefer a rebuild simply because I think this team needs it, and I believe that the strength of this organization is in the drafting and development department. Whatever path is decided, I am more confident in the future of the Flames than I was two months ago.
