If Calgary were a contender then yes I think he would have been valuable for a run, but since they're nowhere near that then trading him was definitely the right move. A 3rd round pick three drafts away though is pretty underwhelming. Finding big guys that can actually play is rare. Finding big guys that can actually play and are tough and physical is really tough to find. Plus, he can chip in offensively. That is a big piece for a contender trying to make a run. I think Conroy definitely sold him at a discount.
