I suspect there is a limit to possible retention use and Conroy has not been able to make that fit.

You can put weight wherever you want.
The actual GM commenting on still having his retention slots twice certainly speaks to me that he is able to use them.
A media member speculating has less weight to me.
The Flames history of not using them is certainly the trump card in this until it's not.
