Conroy has made one trade in the past 15 months
We are about to enter the season with one of the NHLs lowest payrolls
The majority of our top players are 30+
We lack star talent across both the active roster and system
The Vegas odds of us making the playoffs or drafting McKenna are both very low
The most likely outcome of this season is we draft in the 12 to 14 range

Conroy has not picked a lane. He is driving on the line waiting for something to force him to swerve. Its not a smart way to drive a Volkswagen or run a hockey team.

For those that think the lack of action is due to a lack of options, let me ask you this. If the Flames had finished bottom 5 last season do you think this summer would have went the same way? What if we made it to the conference finals?
