Flames can’t let things linger with their players or their team. Conroy has been exceedingly patient, but if it’s gotten to the point where respected players are beginning to become frustrated then his patience should be at an end. The organization needs to continue to build a reputation of being a players-first organization.
…Tanev becoming an Oiler would be a heck of a weird pill to swallow. Flames would need to make sure they hit a home-run with their pick.

How many trades traditionally happen 3 weeks or more before the deadline. My recollection is one or two a year. He already has pulled one off (half of what I would call the substantial trades that have happened this year). Not sure Conroy needs to work on a timeline that is expedited, especially if it is adverse to the eventual return. I hope he gets them done sooner but would prefer a better return vis-a-vis any bad blood with players who get grumpy.
