Conroy doesn't dodge any question bottom line and answers with a smile on his face. You already feel like he's going to be one of the best GMs in Flame's history and he just started.
Conny is doing a great job . He's making smart decisions and not handing out huge long term contracts without any assurance it will work . He knows this team may not be the contender right off the bat that everyone hopes for but he has done a lot of planning towards the future . After the last couple of GMs that would try to make big blockbuster deals , it's nice to see this one realizing he doesn't need to .
Resigning Shark was a definite must for us. Amazing job Conny after these past three seasons of constantly losing really good players having little to nobody leaving in free agency was refreshing.
GREAT JOB CRAIG!!!!!! Haven't been this excited for a Flames team since back to 2004 but better the 80s. I love your plan for the growth of your team. Great to resign Lomberg, he'll be great for Martin Pospisil. Save the cap space so as time goes by we can resign all this new and young talent to extensions. Only way to grow the team to get better and be contenders as time goes bye. I think that's the way the NHL is these days. Get them young and keep them around.
I can't say 2004 since I was only 4, but for my time as a Flames fan, i haven't been this excited since we beat Vancouver in the 1st round in 2014-15 back with Rookie Gaudreau and sophomore Monahan.
Great job this week Craig!! You the scouting staff, all involved excellent job... The only move I dislike is Mantha but it's one year so atleast you didn't pull a James Neal or Troy Brouwer contract.. I love the Sharangovich deal whatta diamond he is and I'm happy to have him through the rebuild.. Popisil at center would be Amazing!! I hope Poirier and Klapka can make the move up at some point and Honzek bounces back from his injuries.. Keep up the great work and we can keep building towards 2025 and 2026 drafts build the monster!! Bring the cup back home !! Connie and Iggy get there redemption!! Let's go !!
I think the $$$ was agreed to? From the Rumors I heard, it was term. Calgary originally wanted a 2-3 year deal Max. I think he was looking for 4-5 years.
Best GM. Very open and good communication. He even said... it does not make sense giving a player a long term signing, if he is not a good fit. (Treliving was horrible at this). He also said that it does not make sense to let players walk fir nothing. (Again Treliving was horrible fir this). Conroy is best GM. Be patient Calgary we are ReBui....I mean ReTooling 😊
I Like That Conny Is Doing Shorter Terms & Expecting Accountability! If You Play Well & Fit In We'll Extend You But Not For Crazy Long Term Deals Like Huberdeau's, Speaking Of Accountability!
Love it, now let's offer sheet broberg and lundel. The seconds we pay for high ceiling dudes in their early 20's would be worth if we can get one of them
I understand your concerns, but the odds are higher a plan of keeping guys like Markstrom, Mangiapane, Tanev, Hanifin, and Lindholm would backfire with much more severity. This is the way to go 👍
Trying to maintain a competitive roster from year to year led to years of middling mediocrity and horrid contracts. A rebuild cant really backfire any worse than what has been happening for the past decade with this team.
@@Marvio12yeah we had them for so long & the wheels were starting to tread backwards with their age. It’s good to make these moves & get ready for the next few years.
@@codyharder571THE IGINLA NAME DOES NOT BELONG ON THE BACK OF ANY OTHER JERSEY THAN A FLAMES JERSEY. GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD. IT IS A DISGRACE TO THE IGINLA NAME AND TO THE IGINLA LEGACY.
Carter hart will likely never play again. Bit of a legal deal with another flame "Dube" and a few other players around the league. Maybe they sort it out down the road but no team would touch any of them now.
Conroy is doing an amazing job with this team, Bringing in young draft picks and giving short term deals is the recipe for success with this team 🔥
He seems to be a great fit for the job! Didn't know what to expect when he took over the reins but he's made a lot of good moves already.
They sure needed a different approach from old long contract big pay treliving. When you have no cap space you have no options. Look at the leafs.
Looks like he learned from that moron Brad which is the real recipe for success.
Hahahaah the Flames will be a lottery team and everyone is leaving with no arena deal in sight!! lol!!
No one wants to play in Calgary.
If any of these draft picks work out, they will leave at the first chance they get.
Well done Craig. I'm not used to this restraint in a GM.

Great job Connie! I’m excited to watch this team grow.
So refreshing to listen to a competent, well spoken GM 🥲 Love having you Conny!

Good job conny
It is sure nice to hear stories about local players who want to play here.
Im beginning to think Conroy is the best GM in the league, considering what he took on.
Bahl & Pachal D pairing
That would be a fun duo to commentate.
Great job on everything so far, Conny!
😂😂😂
If only Rick Ball was still doing flames games...

Tough call on Kylington. Like the idea of flexibility though and not locking in for 8 year term.

Conny killing it this off season.
Craig is right keep cap space to take advantage of cao crunched teams.
In Craig we trust
Lomberg and Martha good signings 👍🏻

Not sure how it can backfire....all is short term with signings, etc.....lots of flexibility for the future although we will struggle for a few years
Ryan Lomborghini zoom ..........
Good year job. Take a rest, the guy look tired.
Hopefully he's smiling that much in April when he's explaining why they missed the playoffs and finished near the bottom.
Play Mantha for one year and then trade him for Tij.
WE DONT NEED TIJ

team won't be good. too many young players and the defence sucks
I think that’s the plan……….. 😐
trade DANIEL VLADAR and sign Carter hart and Justin Wolf bring back Mark Giordano and Vladimir Tarasenko
That’s a terrible Idea
Carter hart will likely never play again. Bit of a legal deal with another flame "Dube" and a few other players around the league. Maybe they sort it out down the road but no team would touch any of them now.
They're REBUILDING bruv
@@evan4433 They (Hart, Dube and others') are not in a very good legal situation. I don't think any NHL team will touch them.
