Instead of rumours, hearsay, and what the Flames didn’t do, it seems way more reasonable to judge the Flames on what they did do, and listen to the stories management and players tell about these situations after the fact, instead of holding on to incomplete or untrue rumours as your source of truth.

Bitching about trying to sign Hanifin is also just flat out bizarre. The best move for the rebuild and the franchise with Hanifin was to try to sign the 27 year old to a long term contract. That is why he is basically the only one that Conroy actively tried to sign. Only when that could not be accomplished did he not sign him and was forced to trade him. That is because it always made more sense for the rebuild to have him than to receive what you would in a trade.
The list of vets that the complainers never cite that Conroy did not try to re-sign is - Toffoli, Tanev, Mangiapane, Zadorov, Kuzmenko. 5 players.
The one he could not because he traded him before he could even negotiate with is Markstrom.
The one he gave an offer to that was below market was Lindholm.
Conroy tries to sign one out of eight veterans he traded and a bunch of posters are like “he tried to sign all of them” LOL.
