It really depends on what that message is. If the message is that if you choose to sign in Calgary as a UFA, receive an NMC, and give it your all, we will not pressure you to uproot your family mid-contract; then I don't think it's a bad message. Trying to put myself into the mind of such a player, and such a scenario might feel similar to being fired from a job and the rest of the team might rally against management in solidarity. Conroy has to be careful to keep a positive culture on the team.
