I feel for Conroy because he’s under a lot of pressure. This is such a mess for a first time rookie GM to navigate. The team is lifeless and is comprised of such an un-likeable cast of characters. Other GM’s know that the Flames are being forced into a difficult situation with players wanting out. It’s good that he has a strong supporting group with Maloney and Nonnis to help guide him as he needs to get this right. Nobody expects the Flames to contend anytime soon but the value you get back along with picks is going to define this franchise for an extended period of time.
