It’s an interesting debate, but as we all know it’s moot. All we can do is judge the product on the ice and the direction of the team long-term right now I’m happy with both.
I think Conroy has autonomy to do whatever he needs to do short of paying people not to play here. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for an owner to want to get involved in that kind of situation. So I’m not alarmed at all by the possibility that ownership did.
I’d much rather the flames use their cap space to acquire a ‘show me’ young centre on an expiring contract whereby the team sending said player includes a first round pick. If it screwed us in the past I don’t see any reason why we can’t screw another team the same way.
