I don’t recall Conroy or anyone from the Flames saying this. Anyone else remember the Flames saying they won’t deal with the division? Seems like you have a wild imagination.
Why would they? If you’re moving players, in this case pending UFA’s, you move them for the best package you can get. Whether that is a ‘massive overpay’ or not. A GM’s job is to do what’s best for their franchise, not hold petty grudges or shortchange yourself due to geography. That would be stupid. if our GM is that stupid (I don’t believe he is) then we’re in for a rough ride.
What I do remember, though (and I don’t think I’m alone), is that Conroy said he learned from the Gaudreau situation and wouldn’t let valuable UFA’s leave for nothing.
