A lot of these players are not interested in converting positions and they are definitely not interested in lowered career earnings. Once these players get some control on their careers they are likely to push back against this type of management and find opportunities where they can get a shot to be the #1C and then get paid accordingly.

The other thing I’ll add is around this time last year there was a lot of talk about a Necas trade. Stienberg was saying, often, that the Flames should be all over it.
What’s interesting to me about that is Stienberg is as close as it gets to the Flamrs from a media perspective. I believe a lot of what he has to say is with good reason. Now, that being said, I don’t think Conroy is sitting down with Stienberg and saying ‘we want Necas’ but I do believe he reiterates that, yes, we want a RHS C in a certain age group who can play as our 1 or 2C. There are not too many of those around at any given point in time.
Not saying it is true but it does seem possible.
