I finally watched the presser. I must say I was a little surprised to see the comments around former Flames contracts. Conroy’s comments certainly indicated very real attempts to re-sign their guys and that their numbers were higher than what the players ended up signing for. We know this to be the case for Lindholm but potentially for Zadorov/Toffoli too?
Also the comments around willingness to trade first round picks for young players. It does contradict what their actions have demonstrated, but I can’t help but worry that impatience from ownership will be a factor as early as next offseason.
