how could none of the other 31 teams not beat this

 

[stats1]

if I’m a Flames fan I’m super pissed right now.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Someone stop Conroy before he trades Markstrom for some rando Russian 4th liner

 

[tmurfin]

Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.

 

[drede]

I'm genuinely shocked by this return. Rental or not, how is that all you get for a top pair guy?

Wasn't gonna extend so no top prospects basically 1st and 2nd assuming Vegas wins a round

 

[sepHF]

Conroy is brutal

 

[Zirakzigil]

All these posters here thinking Conroy did a horrible job.

He took the best offer on the table, Hanifin and his agent handcuffed him. Tampa and Florida have zero top draft picks in the near future and the agent made it clear he was not going to sign with most teams.

 

[Three On Zero]

How badly did he handcuff him? Am I mistaken in that he had a 8 team no trade list? Saying he won't re-sign wouldn't really hurt his value too much if multiple playoff teams were already looking at him, imo.

Limiting the trade patterns and then refusing to talk about an extension unless you were a specific team would sink his value as a pure rental.

How? If he was a pure rental, what does an extension have to do with it?

 

[tsujimoto74]

God damn Calgary getting robbed in daylight.

Seems like Hanifin was handcuffing them with his NTC. I suppose that's his right as a player, but it sure sucks if you're on the selling end of the deal.

 

[bl02]

Conroy did this trade to troll the Oilers right? since they may face the Knights in the playoffs.

 

[pth2]

Ouch. I mean, even if he wouldn't extend in most destinations.... just as a rental he could've fetched more. I know teams won't like trading for him knowing he doesn't intend to sign, but still...

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Fire Conroy.

Don't let him trade Markstrom for peanuts either tomorrow.

Probably to LA for Trevor Lewis

 

[BMOK33]

Honestly, more GMS need to collude to refuse to help out with money in these deals. If nobody agrees to broker these deals then this will stop

Ntc had nothing to do with it was not willing to extend

 

[sxvnert]

Basically a first and a second for hanafin. Decent given the circumstances.

His NTC was 8 teams was it not? And it was submitted at the beginning of the year? So I'm failing to see where the handcuff is?

If your trading for a player you know has no intention of signing you’re going to offer less as you have no chance of getting him beyond a single playoff run

Should have waited last Minute could have squeezed another 2nd round pick from someone else. Why??

Let's be honest these same low quality posters have been saying we won't get a decent return for the last week or so... many even claimed we wouldn't get a first... but now that it's possibly done the Flames did a bad job.... it's just another example of weak ass trolling

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Every single persons reaction to this trade.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

PA is gonna take a hard stand on this in 2026, I think owners are gonna be forced to cave in some capacity

The NHLPA isn't going to do [Samuel L. Jackson voice] a goddamn thing [/SLJ voice] about it.

Any action to implement a cap in the playoffs - especially one like some people keep asking for here - results in players on playoff teams being restricted in some way from playing in playoff games, for purely arbitrary "financial" reasons that have nothing to do with player salaries in the playoffs [which aren't a thing because the players only get contractually paid for the regular season] under the guise of "fairness" that, as I've explained countless times now, have the potential to do harm to players on innocent teams without actually fixing the alleged problem. Why in the hell would the NHLPA do that to its members?

You are literally describing the definition of pure rental.

I'm sure his value as a pure rental is a f***load less than his value if he's wiling to talk extension. If he's got 8 teams on his list, and he's only interested in signing before July 1 with, say, 2 of them, you've got a pretty crappy trade market.
