I get the Flames want to compete, just to add onto what you're saying, trading him in the summer the flames are possibly in a better draft spot more too.

I wonder if Conroy is looking deeper than previous GM's have. Our European scouting has been kinda blah and same with Russian. Maybe he's thinking outside Calgary's box? And with the way things are there now, I dunno how GM's feel about drafting out of Russia?

and those signings would have been a huge mistake and at least one a huge overpay and the other a slight one. That would have prolonged the mess the team is in. It's gross to think that but not surprising.

I think we were sold early in the process how Hanifin would get a huge load for his youth and continued upside where that load just never came. Yea there's an underlying insinuation here...

there were a few of us who felt the same as you. The writing was on the wall then. Unfortunately I think it hard in a capped out world to make hockey trades. I don't know what the answer is. I think it was hard because everyone knew last draft was the best in a very long time. Last year was the year to do it though. ownership wants to compete every year. These are Canadian hockey fans' nightmares. Almost every Canadian team does business this way when they should be going all Carolina or teams like that. they'd have traded Mangiapane already. Look how they dealt Hanifin and Lindholm...

I guess it can be a draft floor deal anyway.

Let's win this draft lottery! trade up in others!

why I'd trade Marky now. It's not going to get any better.

I'd go with normalcy, keep Weegar, Andersson Kylington, Pachal Hanley, XXX Miromanov might need some time coming off an injury...

Hanifin will be 29/30

Conroy talking now... funny they said he wouldn't lol

Could Vegas be bad in 2026? Might be a good long term incestment, like cross mentioned, could be a blessing in disguise.

Cool... Steinberg just said Conroy is not going to do any media hits until after the trade deadline... still working it!

Doesn't the deal also mean that Vegas can trade their pick next year too at that deadline?

I dunno if Capfriendly has been updated. We have 45/50 contracts... I dunno if we'd use any of that to help to gain some depth picks?

more just wondering if Conroy is done here.

very Iggy and Bouwmeester... better than Johnny for sure!

So is Conny done or are there other deals to be made? maybe we take on players to make room for other teams? Depends on contract numbers and cap space, but could we act as a cap dump to gain a few more picks?

Any word on a Kylington extension? Is he trade able if they can't extend by Friday?

looks like even more conditions... laughing harder...

You'd think they'd have gotten more for retaining? Oh well, up to the Flames now for getting value at the various drafts.

They ever say who the third team is and what they get?

I wonder what Hanifin's extension looks like?

Start scouting 25&26!!! Get going!!! Hang with the Dallas scouts please!

Yikes!
