Seems probable.

With someone who talks as much as Conroy do you think Putin doesn't have kompromat on him?

I can envision it now... Its summer 2022, the morning Treliving and co discovered Johnny and Chucky were both leaving. The mood is somber. Management is at a loss. No idea what do next.
Conroy pipes up.
"How about... Russians??"

The codename for the Flames acquiring him was The Hunt for the Red Okhotiuk.

This sends the message to the dressing room that Conroy is all in for the playoffs.

Even if he ends up being a tweener, all it cost us was a 5th.
A 5th is much less valuable than what we just got - someone with immediate NHL potential as a top 6D.

Like I said, in a vacuum it probably doesn't matter. It just became a pattern with Treliving that he would send away mid-late picks for depth Dmen and face punchers every year, and eventually that pick deficit adds up. It's something I would like to see not continue under Conroy.
Time will tell with this guy, but at least he's an RFA and not just some veteran bum who'll play 20 games and walk. So in the end I think it's just okay. Don't know why you immediately jumped to me being upset.

Okhotiuk is a Ukranian surname.
But he's from the Russian interior.

Conspiracy theory: the flames plan on drafting a Russian with their first round pick this year and want to make it enticing for him to leave the KHL so they are stocking their team with Russian and Belorussian players.

Because he knows we'll give them our own nickname anyway.
