also nobody “considering an offer sheet but decided not to due to the contract”. Like the whole point of an offer sheet is to offer a contract, so you would never not offer a contract due to the contract.

Watch the video where Boomer talks about the potential offer sheet. He says from what he heard the Flames weren't as concerned about the picks as they were the term/value of the contract required to make it work, so they didn't do the offer sheet. Boomer is close to the team and doesn’t have a history of providing click bait "insider" info. Which suggests they were at least strongly considering the move.
As for the prospect, I am not concerned about Pelletier. He was on waivers earlier in the season. Plus, the trade was a good one value wise and both players are young. The point is that Conroy has already used picks to target mid 20 players.
I know people like Conroy and want to give him the benefit of the doubt. But Calgary has a long history of avoiding or rushing rebuilds. A healthy level of skepticism is warranted when there is this much smoke.
