I was very underwhelmed with the Toffoli trade even if the pick we received looks like a steal. I feel like Conroy took the safe route on the first round pick and we could be looking at a second liner at best. Hard to say for sure and I’ll just have to trust that they knew what they were doing when they made the pick but I felt there was still a couple of players on the board that looked to have more upside.
Coaching choices were underwhelming as well and the only thing that gives me any bit of hope is maybe seeing Iggy behind the bench next year.
Now with the latest rumor that CGY might not want to do business with BT just makes it feel like Conroy is scared to lose against him in a trade? Maybe it’s the dog days of July hitting me here but I really am losing confidence in Conroy in a hurry.
Is it just me thinking this way? Help talk me off the ledge here people!

Patience, particularly in todays hockey enviroment, is a virtue.
He is doing the right thing by not succumbing to the "trade just to make a change" philosophy.
Its July the 5th. He, clearly, is playing the long game.
3 months until puck drop. Things will change for every team in the meantime.
Doesn't mean things will get better, nor does it mean things will get worse. Just have to trust that waiting for what he wants will pay off and if it comes to a point where he has to pull the trigger, then he has a deal (s) in place to do so, even if its not what he was exactly looking for.
