Flames should be saying they are going for it. It pumps up the value of Andersson and Mangiapane in potential other deals.
Conroy's MO has been to try and pump up the value of a player in the media and then pull the trigger and tell everyone they are still trying to make the playoffs next year.
Do you want Conroy to say "we are tanking and selling everybody". That's a good way to 1) cause more players to want to leave and 2) give the other GM leverage over you
