One of the reasons that I am glad that Conroy was selected to become the GM was that he was here watching Gaudreau and Tkachuk leave.
Treliving was a wizard at those RFA deals, but he took off his wizard hat and sat on it while negotiating UFA deals at times. How many RFA deals were too rich? Bouma?
I believe he will have the mentality of trying to pay players for what he thinks they will accomplish in Calgary, rather than what that player has accomplished in the past.
