I'm extremely pleased with Conroy's approach to collect all of the early round picks, and appropriately get value for their veteran assets that aren't part of the long term plan.
Having 10 first round picks in the span of 5 years is crazy. Add that with the 2nd round capital, and it puts the Flames in a very flexible position. For a franchise that didn't appreciate the importance of building through the draft, it's exciting to see them now recognizing that's the path forward, and go all in on it. Especially with how strong the scouting staff seems to be.
These moves Conroy has made could be setting the franchise up for a very strong '30s decade. This could be the dawn of a bright future.
