Better late than never I suppose.

And on top of his free agent signing he’d pto guys and sign them to dumb contracts/term (not to say Conroy won’t do that). I’m happy they did nothing and don’t miss “Tre” one bit.

I believe it was 5 years ago today we picked up James Neal and everyone was stoked about it.

If Keefe felt Marner et al got pushed around last year, yes.

The only other option would be Tom Wilson and would have been tough to fit him under the cap.

What will it take you dissuade you from this opinion? We just had Milan Lucic on our team for 4 years. Did it cause a great reduction in anything happening to our best players?

The Flames are sure to find out this year!

FWIW, I do believe it caused a reduction.

Damn you for bumping this thread. The first thing I read when opening the main page is Live presser and I got excited.

Would you rather be the Red Wings and go torch $10mm in nonsense? Conroy did well today by taking the day off.

In all my history of watching the Flames, don't think I have EVER seen a FA day as quiet as this past one. Correct me if I am wrong. But it's almost a given that at least a contract or 2 will become albatrosses in the future and the Flames certainly avoided that.

Going FA bin shopping has been a mostly disastrous outing literally each and every time, no matter what the "experts" say or how many WAR charts I see trying to justify it. For this franchise, they simply do not work and do nothing to move the needle.

Extremely refreshing to hear the team stood pat and Conroy is actually following through on his promise to get a better look at the younger players.

Decades of incompetence should have taught us that FA day was a terrible day overall for the franchise and a new approach is needed.

If you got excited and you're more in the know than the rest of us....

Please?

Please?
