Can you confirm he is?

Nothing Conroy has done has given the impression he's not building for the future. He just doesn't want to build a culture where losing is ok.

That’s not how it works.
The person making the bald assertions (you) must prove them.
Not the other way around.

You ever talk to Mr. McCaig, Mr. Markin, or Mr. Libin? I have. They love this team. Murray does too.

But it's "sickening" apparently.

Just f'n weird.
One thing weird is hearing a 8tj place team looking to add.

You must be new to trade deadlines, then.

Edwards loves every penny he can find. He has created toxic environments at his companies.

If they love the team and city Edwards would be gone.

So, to be clear, the Calgary Flames are a toxic environment?

You are bringing facts into this?
Don’t be silly.
If you’ve been paying any sort of attention you’d realize that facts don’t matter to some peoples arguments

I've been a loyal CP'er for 22 years and always peruse the site without logging in. I look forward to July 1st and trade deadline day because I'm a fan of hockey, the NHL and especially the Flames. It's supposed to be fun.

I'm assuming there's an ignore function on this forum? Never used it before. This may be a first time for me by the trend this thread is going.

If they're adding players in the appropriate age range, what's the matter?

This isn't the 30 year old expiring UFA deadline pickups of years past.

PW sorry that Murray Edwards and his company has caused trauma to you and/or your associates. It's clear your position on that.

Why would someone who has suffered such trauma seek out to diminish others enjoyment out of discussion (not deliberate trolling)

Not much. But Bingo thought it was important enough to try. So why jump down the throat of people who are skeptical of anonymous insider info when the owner of this site once felt the same way?

I don’t speak for Bingo but I don’t know he ever felt it was that important
But people can be skeptical if they want
They just don’t have to be rude to the people posting rumours since clearly most of us enjoy it

Definitely seems like it’s a sellers market this year. The returns for Jones and Nelson were huge.

Think it’s a combination of so many teams within range of a playoff spot that they don’t want to sell as well as teams that are at the bottom of the league not wanting to sell anything for picks/prospects either because they have nothing to sell or because they want NHLers back in trade.
