[Gaudreau is a Ninja]

I’ve been a Flames fan since the mid80’s and have watched this team during seasons in which they were supposed to be bad not sell upcoming free agents because they were in a playoff race. Only to have them just fall short or lose in the first round. I love the fact Conroy is not letting the recent winning change his long term goal plan for this organization.

Many here were disappointed in the Toffoli trade for Sharangovich and a 3rd until that 3rd had a name(Suniev). Now watching him score in college has many people much more excited about that trade. Dallas is getting an ageing defensive d-man that is often injured(look back at the series against the Oilers) and may only have him for a few months. The Flames acquired an intriguing young tough defensive d-man that is a very good skater(sounds like a young Tanev) and a 2nd round pick. I read somewhere that at the time Gruchnikov was drafted he was considered one of the best defensive d-men in the draft. That 2nd round pick is going to much more exciting this summer when the Flames draft another prospect with it.

Keep what you’re doing Conroy! You have a big supporter in me!
