But the above isnt true. The Flames still have an established group of veterans at their top end, and a majority of the players Conroy traded were pending UFAs that he wasn't able to retain. The Flames themselves refuse to label it a rebuild. The GM himself admitted he wanted to make a splash this summer to improve the team. A lot of the moves that were made brought on resources that help now.
I understand why Conroy didn't do a full tear down, and we are definitely rebuilding. But Conroy has taken his time doing it, and he hasn't abandoned trying to keep the team competitive.

Andersson is the only vet that he has held onto a bit too long to imo. The rest could just be blocking trades.
