For all we know, Dreger is doing the Flames (and his cousin Nonis) a solid by saying there are good offers tendered, in an effort to increase the actual offers (if any!) for Kadri.
Also, what constitutes a good offer? He was 'blown away' by LA's offer for Andersson, but wasn't it less than what Conroy ended up trading Andersson to Vegas for?
There is a LOT of angst in people here for things that we don't KNOW squat about. You think you know, but we don't know. Assumptions and rumours do not equal facts. It isn't like there have been all of these big deals happening and Conroy is missing the boat here.
I am still firmly in the assumption that Kadri is not the first choice for all (or at least, most) teams. They are still going to wait and see about Trochek and potentially ROR at least. I am sure with Thomas suddenly being rumoured to be available made some teams pause on Kadri to talk to the Blues.
Conroy has no choice but wait for the "Plan As and Plan Bs" to move first. I don't think the market is very robust for Kadri anyway.
