Flames general manager Craig Conroy speaks on acquiring Daniil Miromanov, a conditional 2025 first round pick and a conditional 2025 third round pick from Vegas in exchange for Noah Hanifin.
If you don't understand that Calgary is in a rebuild phase then your an idiot. Conroy needs to get some picks and trades to actually build a team. Lets see where the team is at in 3 years.
Well,,, it is an underwhelming trade for sure but on the other hand there was a possibility that Hanifin could have pulled his no trade clause and walked away leaving the Flames with zero. Hanifin was the best UFA on the block before the trade deadline and thats all well and good but if the bidding for him as a rental is just not materializing then you have to make the best of it and take the best package offered. So the best package was not so hot. Shit happens.
Get rid of conroy before flames have no real players left just no name and picks that won’t help for years to come. Players don’t want to stay in Calgary that has no future to compete
I think that the league as a whole has started a trend where GMs and the media have fallen into a mindset that picks are a valueable way of keeping score in the trade deals. Too much emphasis on the quantity instead of the quality. A deal gets done and kudos are given to GMs because they got a handful of 4 and 5 round picks as though those picks help justify the deal . Its like picks after the 1st round are displayed as tokens of winning when in reality they are the saddest kind of longshot pretending to be a brilliant bargaining chip. Like trinkets. I blame the media more than the GMs really. The media are always trying to make a story where none exists so they flap their gums about who won the most useless picks to try to pretend that its an integral factor in keeping score of a GMs prowess. You cant quantify the value of a 3,4,5th round pick. Most of them will not play in the NHL ever. Thats a fact.
Мироманов-отличный,большой защитник.С отличным броском ,катанием и навыками в нападении.Отличный вариант парни! Поздравляю Калгари.Правильный вариант.Три недели назад писал в комментариях об этом трейде. Рад , что прислушались)))
DENVER can I have that 2025 First Round Pick please? Hey and we’ll be happy to take Ryan Johansen!
He’s signed for ANOTHER year, you say!? But you will retain HALF of the HALF retained by Nashville!? Are you taking advantage of me Denver?
I don’t want to screw this up and find myself stuck in the Mittelstadt. OH SNAP. Is that why!? Ooohhh Rocky Mountain high! Look at you guys!
Or would you rather have the older, less accomplished, less talented Scott Walker? I’m sure gonna miss Noah and I’d really like to not have him in my division, retain the majority of his salary that COULD be spent on Johansen. We could play our friend Yegor on the Wing again! 2025 MEANS 2025 right? Ryan Johansen is a steal for us! Philly will not even appreciate him. We KNOW you like Ryan the same way we like Noah. Let us take him on a playoff run.
Let me get this straight, they got a journey man AHLer that is 26 year old that Vegas didn’t want to resign and was basically a throwaway player in the deal. If he was so coveted, you would think Boris would have made it to the nhl by now. Face it, Connie got Conned once again just like he did in the Tanev deal
I find it extremely amusing that all the big talk of Conroy wanting a 1st, a roster player and prospects at minimum BUT then he only gets a 1st, no roster player and a journeyman 26 year old AHLer that Vegas didn’t want to resign. If the flames wanted a 26 year old AHLer, they should have just resigned Matthew Phillips. At least Phillips has more upside LMAO

This has been a great "Madden NHL Manager 2024" week.
Decent deal considering he wasnt gonna re-sign with us anyways. We dont want to get Gaudreau'ed again and let him walk for nothing.
Huge L

Playoffs did he say playoffs? I just hope we have a team after this missed postseason again
In Conroy we trust 🙏
Fire Conroy now just awful trades he's not the GM to take the Calgary flames forward, he is destroying the flames, craig Conroy is out of his depth
Rough deal, first one I haven't really bought into with Conny.

🙁
Conroy is an awesome GM, who got back a lot of picks and players – for UFAs that were not going to stay.
By the time the new arena is built, the Flames will be a contender again.
Great work Craig
We’re bad again
Thank you Noah.
At least they got a 1st and basically a 2nd, Hanifin shafted Conroy and he had to take what he was offered
Somebody buy Craig another black vest
