Conroy has been the GM for 2 drafts and 2 deadlines and it is pretty crazy to see how many changes have been made. The way this team has played it would have been difficult to sell off a key veteran and it also doesn’t make sense to use a high pick on a short term rental. The Frost/Farabee trade makes a lot of sense as those guys can be on the team for the foreseeable future while filling an immediate need.
The way the Central teams loaded up and that being the clear path the WC2 would need to go through it seems like a playoff berth for the Flames could be a swift 4 and out if they can make it.
It is going to be interesting to see what Conroy does in the summer. The plan they have does not appear to be tanking for high picks but we know he is going to continue to make the team younger.
