You would hope that the organization has learned it's lesson, and will not nickle and dime it's young core players from here on out. If they believe in them, they will lock them up long term to ensure they have retention. And for examples like Fox, the Flames still got good value from him with what they got in return.
Flames just need to have proper asset management, and they'll be alright. So far though Conroy's first year, they're showing that.
