As a pure rental doesn’t he get more than this?

 

[BKarchitect]

I don’t think it was a good return but Oilers fans and/or conspiracy folks thinking that Conroy did this to screw their team need to stop thinking the world revolves around their team. What an absurd thing to think.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

I thought Calgary would have gotten more but in fairness it didn’t sound like Hanifin or his camp helped much

 

[bwhsocal]

how could none of the other 31 teams not beat this

unless he resigns he is rental so take out all non playoff teams and teams without any cap space and youre left with a small pool. still cant believe couldnt get better than that return

 

[The Great Weal]

Was expecting more but hard to imagine someone giving much more for a pure rental. The thing is that Vegas has a good chance of extending him.

 

[BMOK33]

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?

Numerous players made anonymous remarks about the Kucherov fiasco...there has to be decent support for it though none will publicly state it

it doesn't help we have a few dumbass posters claiming this too

 

[Thechozen1]

Still calling it that Vegas chokes and will be out by round 2.

 

[Three On Zero]

You are literally describing the definition of pure rental.

Yes, which has significantly less value than someone who is open to potentially negotiate a contract.

Hanifin got the pure rental return and not the return of someone who could be re-signed

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Wait, Calgary retained salary on a trade?!?

Somebody needs to do a wellness check on Murray Edwards.

 

[sxvnert]

31 - 8 NTC list.

Im sure the bruins could have topped this.

 

[Go Wings]

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.

Is that what you told yourself with your last GM when he traded Tkachuk for that mess of players? New GM same result. Calgary asset management is one of if not the worst in the league.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

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.

The trade market was already crap this year. And him being the top of the list already was enough. I think all this handcuff talk is way over blown by people who are salty that Conroy is a terrible GM.

 

[The don godfather]

I thought it was a sellers market?

 

[Malkinstheman]

Pure cope from Flames fans. How does Monahan return the same value that Hanifin does? Most rentals end up walking so don't give me the excuse of Conroy being hamstrung

 

[sxvnert]

Cant wait to see how hard friedman and marek defend Conroy.

 

[kingsholygrail]

The picks are conditional? lmao

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

If its true that Boston offered Debrusk and Lysell, Conroy should be fired within the hour.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Who would have thought the thing holding up the announcement of this deal was an extension of a 26 year old dman who has played 29 NHL games in his career.

Conroy high 5ing himself

 

[sxvnert]

I thought it was a sellers market?

It hasnt been since the tanev trade.

 

[drede]

The 1st is conditional?

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Yeah, we set the market kind of low with that trade.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Yes, which has significantly less value than someone who is open to potentially negotiate a contract.

No, he got the value from an idiotic GM. Conroy got slightly more than Verbeek got for Adam Henrique. This value is significantly less simply because Conroy is bad at his job.

 

[red devil]

Vegas can still trade this year's 1st
