Didn't work.
But it wasn't an attempt to screw the team. It wasn't an ego move. It was a guy making a hockey move that he thought would have the team back in the mix as a contender.
He was wrong. But this need to paint the guy as a complete villain is just juvenile.

I think we’ll agree to disagree then. I’ve said it before and again that he didn’t intend to screw the flames over but did with needing to get certain moves done. Those two were ones but the Hamonic one as well brought that into the light. I also disagree he didn’t have an ego. When Conroy said he didn’t involve others in his trade talks (more or less) what other reason would that be the case aside from his own pride? He may be the stereotypical egomaniac running around with proclamations of self grandeur, but his actions show he also wasn’t the humble team first leader some paint him as. To me his ego ran the show and that’s very much like a lot of politicians.
