I have zero issues with the moves Conroy has made and while I am not against having a bad season the 5-6 posters that beg for this team to be a bottom feeder it gets tough to sit silently by and read these takes that losing will equal winning. Very risky for a market like Calgary.
I will say I agree if we see Conroy spending 1sts and futures and all his cap space to try and compete next year this team is doomed. Until I see that I am going to trust the man steering the ship who I think has done far more right than wrong in his 2 years on the job

Seems to be 2 groups in the rebuilding group. Some just seem to go way too far with what we need to be doing. If Conroy trades Anderson, even if he tries to re-sign him, he's doing the right moves. To say Rasmus has no value keeping him at a team friendly deal is way off IMO as well.
All it takes is 1 year below .500 and you can get that guy.
Continuous building and adding to your picks and prospects will eventually put us in a spot to draft or trade for a star. F grading for Conroy last season was the worst post I have seen in a long time. Not weaponizing cap space and losing on 2 4ths is not a reason to fire him. He did retain salary on Markstrom for 2 years. He has targeted unprotected 1sts too. So far, he's A+ type GM for me.
Coronato contract deserves an A+ rating IMO
