The Flames are not really 'buyers' - for me, buyers means that you are at the position where you are using futures to trade for win-now players on expiring deals to try and get your team over the hump. Conroy is not an idiot. He isn't going to be trading futures for upcoming UFAs. It will be younger players approaching RFA status, or younger players signed to longer deals. I have no issues with the Flames being buyers.
