Players are going to understand Conroy having to trade all of the players you mentioned. They're UFAs. Trading their starting goalie who has another two years left is going to be more deflating to them.
Some fans won't and don't have to like it but it's obvious from the comments Conroy has made he wants the team to compete and doesn't want losing to be ok.

This is all very true. Like it or not Markstrom makes the Flames better when he's playing like this. Plus he could be a solid mentor for Wolf, seemed to work for Demko in Van anyways.
Sure would be nice to know for sure what NJ officially offered for him though.
