Some people acting like Conroy pulled a Feaster and traded the equivalent of Iginla for 2 bums and a first in the Hanifin deal. The return, while not incredible, is not even close to being on the list of worst bungled assets by the Flames. It could actually be a very good return if Vegas somehow implodes (unlikely). What we already have is evidence of Conroy being able to extract decent to excellent value in multiple trades. Some posters gotta ####ing chill, it’s a long offseason. Pace yourselves.

To add to this, Conroy's organizational direction is solid in my opinion. I would be okay with a few years of bottom 5 finishes. However, I accept that is not the organization's view. Nevertheless, they are focused on drafting and developing well with the picks available and gathering more picks; not letting valuable free agents walk for nothing; having a professional environment for young players to grow in; and, identifying players and market inefficiencies to help round out the roster.
One failed transaction here or there does not determine his tenure as GM. I already have more faith that this build will result better than the last one.
