Saying he left due to "money, Covid and fun" didn't sound like praise to me, felt like a thinly veiled criticism of his priorities.
Definitely some projecting on my part, but just feels like some posters, yourself among them, devote a ton of energy to bringing negativity to his tenure with the Flames and bring the same amounts of energy to defending the organization's treatment and handling of him.
Any comment suggesting that the organization should have learned something from the Bennett and Tkachuk situations is met with justification of the team's actions and implied criticism of the players.
Maybe you're 100% right and the organization did the best they could. Kind of feels to me like there are some lessons to be learned, namely:
Invest in your young players, especially those with the highest ceilings.
Lock up your stars as soon as you can for as long as you can.
You can see Conroy trying to do both. He just doesn't have any stars right now, so hopefully he is locking up the right players.
