I know I give you a hard time but Flames were a below average team with all the apparent talent that Conroy traded away. I’m happy to let the rest of the league pay these guys big money while Flames start over.
Hanifin, Andersson, Weegar, Tanev, Zadorov sure sounds good on paper.
Honestly probably one of my fears is that Conroy tries to lock up too many guys to long term deals before any track record of consistent play and winning.

Wasn't there some cap issues as to why they can't sign him, even a contract starting next season. Can't remember exactly.
As for signing guys long term before they or the team prove something..yeah I'm with you on that but ultimately you have to buy into some talent and hope you continue to build a team. I've seen a few comments about Dustin Wolf this season and his new deal that hasn't started yet but that's 100% a guy you buy into at an important position. Cooley has been a nice suprise but Wolf is five years younger. When goalies have an off year, or sophomore slump, the position magnifies the results.
