			Considering his first contract was an AHL-only deal, I wouldn't be surprised if Conroy played a big part in signing him then.

			I think this kid is entertaining.  He also is an incredibly hard worker on every shift, and doesn't really hurt you defensively.  It is a little ball of hate out there with a constant smile on his face.  I have always loved this kid.  Remember when he buckled Kassian? 
 
 
These hard-working types are also great to show the kids the way.  Conroy speaks about being a team that competes - you need vets that compete.  I am not very high on Mantha because of his regular 0-compete, but he is fine for a deadline flip.  Conroy isn't trying to build a winner right now (and he obviously wouldn't be able to right now anyway), but he wants to have a culture where guys go out and compete.  It isn't about being competitive in the standings, it is about competing on the ice night after night even through losses, so that you when you start to insert the high-skilled players from the core, that's the expectations that will be placed on them by the rest of the team.

The whole team has to protect each other, not one guy.  And with Lomberg in the lineup you won't have room for Pelletier.  Only so many roster spots.

Thought the Flames really needed a gritty Hathaway type, physical human missile. 
 
Lomberg fits the bill on cap and term. Welcome home!

If Pelletier can't beat out Duehr or Hunt, that's on him.

People act like no one ever gets hurt
Plus competition is good 
And the extra 1 million over a rookie / minimum contract player is irrelevant for the Flames

Kuzmenko will play with Huberdeau and Sharangovich.
Mantha will play with Backlund and hopefully learn something, or else on the 4th line.  Coronato has to prove himself yet.  
Dueher and Hunt are black aces.  So is Lomberg if needed.
