You keep banging the same drum about Lindholm saying no, but do you know who tells a different story? Elias Lindholm.

Didn’t Conroy also say that early in the year they exchanged numbers and he could see the writing on the wall that Lindholm was going to market?
Both sides use the media in contract negotiations.
So Lindholm knew for a long time tuat season he was being traded.
Lindholm was willing to stay, Conroy told his agent this was the way it's going.
Calgary wanted to do something meaning trade him. Lindholm tried to work it out but knew Calgary wanted to do something and was prepared for the trade.
So can you please stop this false narrative that Lindholm saved Conroy from himself? |
Conroy also said in the aftermath that based on early conversations with Lindholm camp, it was clear they were going to market.
I don’t think Lindholm’s quotes here indicate anything that the Flames weren’t willing to extend him. Just maybe not at $9M like he wanted.
