2 out of the 5 players were a loss to the Flames IMO, that's Hanifin and Tanev.
The rest, Lindholm ,Zadorov and Mangiapane were additions by subtraction. How would the Flames look right now if they kept Lindholm and Mang? Likely much worse. 2 less spots for kids who have made an impact.
Zadorov was just okay and IMO, Pachal has filled Zads void and honestly improved the spot.
I don't think losing guys whose foot were already put the door as triggering a rebuild. How Conroy has approached the situation has turned out pretty on the mark, giving room for young players to earn their spot and make an impact, which they have.
