Depth players should be shipped the minute you can extract more value from them. Flames fans fall in love with depth players.

I don't think we need trade Zary right away. I was on board for trading Zary this summer if we weren't trading Coleman or Kadri. We kept all 3 and it isn't working.
Hanley so far looks like the Hanley you expect. Bean and Pachal are just depth. Ras is on his way out and isn't looking like anything more than an average 2nd paring dman.
Zary is 24 years old now and playing 4th line and 12 mins a night. At his age, this isn't good for his development. He is almost in his prime years and hardly playing. We need to see what he can do in a bigger role, or he will eventually get frustrated and want out.
He's at the stage of his career, play him or trade him. Trading him for less than a #1 center prospect should be an option. Bo Byram involving a Zary package made sense to me. That deal is looking more and more like what Conroy should have done. D looks awful and the log jam on forward is causing issues.
