But the two cases this year aren't proof that they won't be used.

And I'm not sure Conroy discussing retention slots on three different occasions fits with the narrative that he's not allowed to use them.
Is it fair to say that the comments from other teams and other media sources fit and support the narrative? The lack of the mechanism being used fit the narrative? Is it also possible that maybe Conroy's comments were meant to help try and drag people to table who maybe have been long aware that past managers in Calgary have not been able to use the mechanism and used that as a reason to not even bother picking up the phone? I suspect there is a limit to possible retention use and Conroy has not been able to make that fit.
