But because the hire was made by the Flames who are currently run by Craig Conroy and Jarome Iginla was named by Seabrook directly in his press conference--- by questioning and bashing the hiring, you are indirectly questioning the character/morals of Conroy/Iginla. And I am absolutely not on board with that. Both of them have proven over a long period of time that they are individuals of the highest character.

Lol I'm not judging Conroy or Iginla. People make mistakes in hiring all the time.
We drafted Topi Ronni and immediately dropped him after finding out who he was. I don't judge us for not truly knowing every person and every player they hire or draft.
Anyways though, it is not like anyone was in the room with the Blackhawks anyways. Did they know, maybe or maybe not. If the exact same thing had happened on another team at that time, would any player have spoken up? Maybe or maybe not.
Like honestly, we don't know. But it is hard to get upset with someone who does not like the hire. It comes with this set of baggage. One of the former Blackhawks players said the entire team knew, so it is understandable some people would hold that against him.
