Conroy said he was going to try and take some big swings this summer. Friedman said Calgary has tried to take big swings this summer. Various respected media have had the Flames in on several left shot D, a couple of which likely would have required a first. Now we hear they were considering an offer sheet but decided not to due to the contract.
This is from a team that consistently has tried to put a competitive roster forward, even when they arguably should be focused on a rebuild. Conroy himself has prioritized acquiring mid 20s players, even trading a second, seventh, and a prospect to get Frost and Farabee.
If he is considering trading the Flames 1st then that is really concerning. But we don't know that for sure as he hasn't pulled the trigger yet. But at a minimum he is at least trying to make moves to early for where we are in the rebuild.
