Iginla was 13 years and 3 GMs ago. I don't think it's indicative of an ongoing trend.

Anderson and Kadri got great returns. Hanifin was meh but at least the unprotected 1st is looking ok.

I'll give you Gio, but I think it's pretty clear that Conroy is not handling expiring contracts the same way Treliving did.

These guys come in and it’s always a nice polite one. You serve them because you dont want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
