For a team that has always spent to the cap until last season this "win as many games as possible mandate just doesn't hold water.
That suggestion always loses me for the reasons you listed.

No GM trades as many top of the lineup players as Conroy has, signs as few players, and carries as much cap as the Flames have if there is a mandate to win as many games as possible.

If that’s Conroy’s mandate and that’s what he’s trying to do then he might be the worst GM in the entire league and the luckiest.
