Can Conroy package surplus with/without picks to get us help at centre or left D? More picks?

I think this season made Contoy's job harder. But it's a good problem to have.
The easy answer is that Rooney comes out and you have a rotation of the younger guys in that #4C spot. At least until one of them can unseat Backlund and force him down the lineup.

I absolutely believe that the Flames need to figure out how to move out some wingers for help at C and LD. The logjam is going to build up even more if guys like Gridin, Suniev, or Basha demonstrate that they deserve a spot with the big club.
