The proposals floating around these guys all year had the Flames with:
3 1sts in 24 or multiple 1st in 24 and 25
3 2nds in 24 or multiple 2nds in 24 and 25
multiple blue-chip prospects
Young current roster top 6 forwards/top 4 dman
After the deadline based on the market Conroy received praise for his deadline moves.
We got Vancouver and Vegas (26) 1st but not much for 2nds and Hunter Brewski as a high rated prospect but still not a top 20 prospect league wide
It's amazing how returns still get way over projected, and some get upset when you say they are way off on the return.

I think he hit a homerun with the Lindholm trade, Vancouver overpaid.
We got market value for the rest, I think we got excited for the first time having valuable assets on the market.
I man Mark Stone got a 2nd round pick and a AHL prospect and a camp dump.
To think Markstrom has some crazy value on the market is nuts. The last goalie traded for a top 10 pick was Cory Schneider and he was 27 years old coming off a impressive 3 year stretch.
