Speculation: Armchair GM 2024-25 Season, Craig Conroy's Can Do Calgary Flames

Just because he is miscast here, doesnt mean hes not an NHLer. Guy is pretty much what you want on any 4th line. Just so happens the Flames need a a right shot center who can win a draw. People werent complaining when the 4th line was Lombo - Rooney - Kirkland

He sucks. And usually if you suck when you make what he makes you don't get to be an NHLer. He has 9pts in what is getting very close to 100 GP now with the Flames. Those just aren't NHLer numbers. Maybe if he was real physical or great defensively or did literally anything other than getting ran over both physically and metaphorically matchup wise you could justify him having played 44 games this season.

There are much more worthwhile players on the Wranglers. This is at least supposed to be a rebuild, I don't care if he brings Huska his latte every morning and helps setup the cones.

3 points off a wildcard, 3 points off bottom 10, 5 points off bottom 7.

2-3 games in hand on most teams.

The PO race is a nice trap. Lankinen was very very good vs Vegas. With Demko being out, I don't see this a bonus...

Scraping into the playoffs isn't worth the potential downside at the draft (I've been team tank all season)

Agreed and I am inclined to firmly join your bandwagon. Part of me wants to start Vladar vs Sharks, that would give them a chance but it ain't happening. Bottom 10 is super realistic at this point.

I think inconsistent is a better term than miscast. He was decant last year and early this year, but was terrible in 2022-23 and then more recently.
