Agree with most that its very underwhelming. I think he's certainly a third pair guy, but he came of a 14 goal season last year, and there seemed to be interest out there for him. I wonder if Conroy pulled the trigger to early.
The positive new is the Flames get a little worse this season, so it indicates they may actually be thinking long term.
