The only reason he’s in this position is because they were so wishy washy to get to this point. Ideally they should’ve made up their mind on the team direction some time back and dealt him in the summer. But to your point maybe given their constraints 2027 is a long way out. But I wouldn’t be opposed to 2026 given we need higher picks and by then Tampa may be in the fuzzy middle if Hedman and Vas falter (which they’re showing signs of aging now). That’s also where we can’t just rely on one piece coming back (the pick). There has to be a prospect coming with it.

Yeah just by what we’ve been hearing it sounds like Noah and his agent have made this really tough on Conroy. Seems inevitable that we will be getting ripped off.
I’m just tired of Calgary being a farm team for the rest of the league. Tkachuk, Fox, Hanifin, Bennett all playing out their primes for different teams. Frustrating to say the least.
