I just think once a player goes public, it’s over. He’s off the team. Flames should have played Gilbert tonight.
Sure, if the offers are terrible - don’t rush it. Just have him sitting out. Sit him out for a week as you try to negotiate a trade, and if it doesn’t come then go back to the player and ask how he’d like to proceed.

Conroy had to cut salary. Tofolli wasn’t in the long term plans like the others. Older player, term will age poorly. Ufas that are left are younger and should in theory fetch you more at some point. Don’t hate the trade, sharongovich is decent (give him time to adjust) and the pick in a deep draft could swing the trade in our favour.
