I read Friedman's statement: "Conroy has a plan and it is to turn over his team a little bit" implying it is what he wanted to do this off-season, not what has already happened. Nobody would say that last year was 'a little bit'. This off-season has been a little bit, more or less, than what the Flames finished the season off with.
Calgary isn't tanking. They remain competitive enough to lose 2-1 and 3-2 games and avoiding 10-0 losses, but this is a team that is designed to finish probably in the bottom 3, if not last overall.
