I don’t think I’ve been this excited about our prospect situation and futures outlook ever lol. It’s remarkable when you start combing through the list and see so much potential names and also consider the likes of Wolf, Zary, Coronato, Pelletier, Pachal and Pospisil are all graduated to full time NHlers… it’s awesome to see our drafting and development staff killing it and that really is a ringing endorsement of Conroy. Love it!

People look at Dallas and say you can't reproduce that kind of drafting. But it ignores the fact that Jim Nill is a pure scout turned GM. I have high hopes that Conny is in the same mold.
It's more than just a guy with a good eye. It is a guy who emphasizes that this is the best way to build a team, and builds out his departments accordingly. When you look at the Flames scouting and player development staff, it dwarfs that of Edmonton. Whereas they emphasize analytics and have a bigger data department.
