Very good interview with Jamie McLennan on Barn Burner today. He was trying to calm down the fan base after the Maloney interview.
Made a good point that regardless of the words, the Flames haven't actually made any moves to try to be competitive. Said it is all PR talk and he would not be surprised if they trade some vets even well before the deadline. He said any words about being competitive are just words for their season ticket holders who might not want to hear the word rebuild.
Also said if Conroy was available he would have many calls from teams ready to hire him immediately, so would be shocked if he was not re signed.
Finally, said he isn't worried about the Flames not officially making players available. Said regardless of what other teams announce; Andersson, Kadri, and Coleman are still very valuable compared to what is available elsewhere.
