Yeah, Flames taking heat on this one.

Perhaps deservedly so - for all the talk about how the Flames weren’t going to approach him unless things were good to go, for them to then approach him, have him (apparently) approve it, and then have the deal scuttled isn’t a great look.

If those are the circumstances, Conroy should make sure he gets this trade completed before the deadline. Zero point in keeping players who have soured on the situation here.

It also wouldn’t surprise me if the news about NJD being willing take on his full cap-hit came from Pat Morris, who is trying to turn up the public heat on Conroy to get him to complete the trade.
Weekes was, and correct me if I’m wrong, one of the first if not thee first pundit to start speculation on Markstrom when he tweeted a pic of him along with the Ryan eyes back in January. Pretty funny to see the media, who was complicit in all of the Markstrom reporting, is chastising the Flames here.

Markstrom was a human and reacted emotionally to a classic EF stir the pot question. I’m sure the vets all realize this is a business, the flames are clearly rebuilding or at the very least retooling, Marky should be happy Conroy is trying to work with him to find a spot he can win because he isn’t getting any younger and his talents will ultimately be wasted here.
