I think the way Conroy is handling this is the best he can do. And he’s adding a lot of bullets to the chamber. The Flames are likely a top 5 drafting and developing team at the moment so I’d say this approach gives the Flames the best odds to hit one of those rare elite players, and with more picks they might swing for a few more fences as well.
A top 5 pick would be ideal, but pending some serious lottery luck it just isn’t in the cards for 2024

I think you are underestimating how bad the defense will be once Hanifin is gone. Let alone if they figure out the Markstrom trade.
