20M in cap space is like having a bunch of brand new tools just laying around. Who's impressed by that? Why didn't we use any of that space to buy a couple draft picks at the deadline?
How come teams like Arizona use their space to pick up expiring contracts plus draft picks, but we just sit on it? And we're celebrating that?
Yes, it's awesome that we have that much cap space to work with in the offseason, but we still could have had that space plus some extra picks. Again, that's just something other teams do. Not Calgary. No sir.

Conroy attempted to use that cap space to get draft picks. The market wasn't there, because the league isn't as capped out as it was last year. Conroy was approached about taking players with term, that didn't quite fit his plans.
