This is more of a Treliving thing though, which I have a feeling Conroy won't repeat. We're now seeing more and more guys after ELC locked up for 7 or 8 years instead of bridge contracts. I think for Calgary, which is not a destination team, they will need to go that route (similar to Ottawa, good or bad). Treliving screwed himself and the team's cap by constantly overpaying and over comitting to bad UFA signings.
