Every one of those guys other than Hanifin would have stayed with the Flames. Lindholm made a counter the Flames could have signed and been done. Zadorov, Toffoli, and Tanev, wanted deals and the Flames weren't willing to talk. Even Markstom only requested a trade after the Flames asked him to waive (and we all knew Wolf was the future)

Yes, they all would have stayed with gross overpayments - and it was wise of Conroy to move on.
I’m just bringing up a fair criticism of this team in-season right now, because the further we do get into the season with continued inaction, the more I’ll believe that Don Maloney’s unfortunate words are in fact the direction of the team.
So far, we’ve not seen anything change. Looking at other teams in our position, we’ve seen and/or heard of intent to make changes - whereas the only thing we’ve heard from insiders and the organization is a desire to not change, which just seems unwise.
I don’t think it’s unfair for Flames fans to be poking the Flaming C with a stick asking it to do something, particularly with contract and age complications with what Royle and others have said are the best assets (potentially) on the market…if they in fact ever do put them on the market.
