That was a brutally honest assessment and really hits home. Oliver and his camp have shown a lack of professionalism during this entire process when you take into consideration how the club handled his absence. I do wonder who is driving the decision and whether or not he is getting bad advice from his agent.
As a side note, we don’t know how involved ownership is when it comes to these types of players, but perhaps Murray Edwards steps in and tells Conroy to shut the door. He is the guy who signed cheques and paid a player to get healthy when other options were available (such as the suspension route the Barn Burner guys talked about). The fact that the goodwill was not reciprocated seems like a slap in the face. I say this with a caveat in that we don’t know what the Flames were/have offered but the player doesn’t have much of a case for a substantial pay increase/term as the sample size hasn’t been big enough.
