They've retained twice since.

These guys get thin information and extrapolate.

You can certainly believe it all if you want, but it doesn't take a sycophant to question it.

And I question the CP insider stuff too. Not saying I call it BS, but I assume it's the same ... spotty info with someone giving them a summary that may or may not be an effective summary.

All info is good.

Just don't lap it up.
I think there was confusion about the 'retention' hang-up that, mostly, was just about the value the Flames have placed on retention, not that they wouldn't.

I can see that.

That's complete crap.

And both could be true in what they're saying for negotiating purposes.

But these same guys have come out and said Calgary wouldn't retain which has been blown out of the water since.
I'm less concerned with the reason and more troubled that they wouldn't let Conroy complete a trade he thought was in the best interests of the club.

Who knows if that is what happened but that does seem to sync up with what Markstrom said publicly.

I suspect it’s been dead since the first time it fell apart. Everything since then has felt like a carrot to keep us donkeys following along

Yeah, Devils aren't selling so much as saving some value on a player they can't re-sign (at his asking price) and with Hughes back it's not like they lack offence.

Because 3 playoff runs is more valuable than two.

3>2

Can you suggest a reason why they’d offer more in the offseason than they offered a week ago, when they were in save-our-season desperation mode?

Laying on the beach in the Dominican, drinking cocktails and enjoying all the trade/rumours once in a while as I feel the need to check in… this might be my new trade week deadline ritual.

Some opinions are so obviously opinions that they don't require the 'IMO'
