Again, it sounds like Holtz was an OK price for retention in Conroy's mind. But not as a compensation for Markstrom.

So you're suggesting Conroy has authority to make any deal he wants regardless of organizational or fiscal impact? You don't think that the Flames have approval levels in place, like every other large company, especially ones run by Murray Edwards? Conroy will have authority to make deals up to certain levels. Once you exceed those levels the deal must be signed off above Conroy (probably Maloney) or by the ultimate authority, who in this case is the ownership team. Everyone has limits and everyone has a boss to answer to, even the CEO or COTB. The GM will have guiderails in place to limit the potential damage they can do, especially a first year GM. It's why Maloney and Nonis have jobs with the Flames. It's why Bean is involved at all. I'll give you credit, I never thought we would actually see an honest to goodness appeal to "authority" defense invoked in an argument.
