Impress us again Conroy!

I think part of the reason Conroy went with the Zadorov trade offer he did was it was the only one that didn't involve the Flames retaining salary. So partly that's ammunition for my perspective that I don't know if we retain on anyone... but also there's probably other potential deals where retaining salary would significantly sweeten the offer moreso than on Zadorov. And you can't retain on more than 3 contracts as well.
We'll see.
