The rumour was Flames had a trade with the Leafs Andersson for the the Carlo package. In turn they were going to flip a pick to Carolina for Orlov. Carolina backed out so then Conroy didn't want to move Andersson, thinking it sent to wrong message as he wanted to give them a chance at playoffs.
Going back to my point Conroy decided to show loyalty to a group of veterans who got to the second round once in the last 10 years. The young guys now deserve the opportunity.
Conroy continually has stated he wants to give young guys a chance to play could have played Brusntewicz and Parekh a few more games if he made the move.
Again Conroy is acing the drafts and that is the most important part of his job right now. But this decision is a headscrstcher for me and fairly disappointing.
