Well I think there is a decent chance the Flames have their own pick next year. And the tanking will be done regardless. Conroy came into a dire situation and went to ownership and said he had a plan to rebuild, get younger, trade UfAs for picks and prospects. Of course Flames ownership signed off, that is what they have a GM for, to tell them what the vision is for the club. Conroy is executing that vision. Even if he wanted to do a 180 they won’t have the horses to compete next year. But I doubt he will do a U turn, he and the ownership seem very committed to his GM vision around getting younger and developing a deep prospect base.
