No one has said who we are retooling around. Conroy actions as you said yourself are much different than what he says. All his trades thus far are rebuilding trades.
Adding a Necas makes sense for a team with a core built, and looking to add to take the next step in the playoffs. Like Florida when they got Reinhart.
We should be focused on making all of our picks, and adding more picks before we entertain moving any assets for any players.
Nothing has happened yet. No pitchforks out from my end. Just think he doesn’t fit the timeline of this team.

I think we're both sitting in the middle on this one, and pretty much agree.
I think it's only worth acquiring Necas if you can buy low enough that there is a good chance of a quick profit. I wouldn't be surprised if both Sharangovich and Kuzmenko get flipped to contenders next season, and Necas might be another candidate for that kind of move.
It's day trading, not buy-and-hold investing; but there is a place for both. Conroy was handed the proverbial red paper clip and is trying to parlay it into some working capital. I won't judge him if he flips some peculiar assets at points along the way.
But I don't see Necas as a long-term solution to anything, and I'll frankly be rather surprised if the Flames end up acquiring him.
