Exhausting.
Personally, I'm just going to chill and watch it unfold as ...
I see they've already been rebuilding.
Conroy is extended so a lot of the chaos last week has been put to bed.
The team has been prudent in asset management in the last 2.5 seasons.
They've drafted in the first round two years in a row and headed for three.
They drew a line in the sand on term and dollars for Andersson that appears to have him on the block.
All that's left for me (other than drafting well) is when the team pulls the trigger. And without any actual knowledge of the team driving too hard a bargain I will trust they have a level and will move at least Andersson when that level is met.
The rest is just people complaining about the same thing without any actual information day after day after day.
I don't see the joy in that, never will.

If you count young prospects picked up in trades (basically only adding Hunter B) and where they were drafted this is the Flames draft record since 2023
2023 - 4 picks in the first 3 rounds
2024 - 6 picks in the first 3 rounds
2025 - 4 picks in the first 3 rounds
Projected for assuming no future trades for picks or prospects (prospects could move the 23-25 numbers
2026 - 5 picks in the first 3 rounds
19 picks in the first 3 rounds over a 4 year period is a franchise record. There has never been a 4 year period where they have accumulated that many picks in the first 3 rounds. Suspect Conroy adds to that number before the end of this year. Probably also adds to the 27 and 28 numbers too.
