We get into Feaster territory now.
Kind of a tough spot for Conroy he has legit assets to get good value on if you look at it fairly and not as a Flames fan but but we are not getting the offers at the moment.
Doesn't help stupid Erik Karlsson has to ask for a trade clogging the trade market.

Yeah I understand the rationale totally. I'm just afraid as a fan the reality will be us sitting with Hanifin at the deadline getting offered a late 1st and a 2nd or something while sitting in the 9th place spot with Murray Edwards all in on getting those 2/3 home playoffs dates for the cash as he seems to have been in the past, Conroy being told to treat him as a rental and seeing him walk for nothing as an alternative. We'll be told "it would have cost us more in picks to acquire a rental like Hanifin for the stretch drive" as justification. I think the trade gets so much tougher to make once the season starts. Really underlines what a bad state Treliving left the Flames in Conroy being in this position.
