Conroy is taking the same strategy with defensemen - acquire as many as possible, and see who develops.

Kylington (26)
Mironanov (26)
Pachal (24)
Bahl (23)
Okhotiuk (23)
Solovyov (23)
Kuznetzov (22)
Jurmo (22)
Grushnikov (21)
Morin (19)
Brzustewicz (19)
Hurtig (19)

If the Flames get 3 good players out of that group, they will have done very well.

Conroy is doing EXACTLY what he should be doing.
Folks thinking 1) we need all these D to make up for lack of using picks on D or 2) a strategy by the team to overindex on solid D and let forwards figure it out?
