The rumor mill can say the Flames are after a good, young center all they want, but so are all the other 31 teams in the league. Unless a Lindholm/Hanifin deal falls into your lap again, you are going to have a really hard time prying these players away from anyone, and must obtain them through the draft.
Conroy has done an excellent job of amassing D depth, and has started to strengthen the wings as well after years of watching the Tre fumble the pot. If he hits a home run on a C this year, the teams rebuild could start to accelerate quickly.
