Yeah the report that the Flames wouldn't retain was squashed. It was over what the asset cost was for retaining. It's fairly established what retaining on an expiring deal costs (like with Tanev). But retaining for 2 additional years has got to be significant and I could see that being hard to nail down.
We've heard Conroy wanted Seamus Casey as the price for retaining as much as the Devils wanted. Seems like the Devils didn't want to do that, but of course the media leaps at the chance to blame Conroy and Murray Edwards.
