I get that but do you think any additions they make will lift the the team from a bottom ten finish? I sure don’t.
They lost a top pairing dman, a second pairing dman, a solid #5, and their #1 centre. Markstrom was dragging the pre trade deadline team to a middling finish and then the wheels fell off once the Flames dismantled their team.
No UFAs that will make a material difference will sign with the Flames.
If they trade Markstrom and don’t replace him then I don’t really care what Conroy says publicly. It’s a full on rebuild.
