I think the only "deadline" in play right now is the deadline to either make a last and best offer, or perhaps accept the Flames last and best offer. That might have already happened.
The silence to me is a good thing, so long as the Flames aren't moving from their reported 8x$7.5. If Hanifin says no, then it is time to work with him and his agent to look at potential sign and trade deals, and failing that, the only deadline that matters is the trade deadline. Conroy has tons of time to make a rental deal at that time.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
