Flames sign Craig Conroy

1 year deal - Mikael Backlund has to love this news. Frack Sutter, don't you understand, this is a young guy's league now.

puts you almost $3 million over.

who's the odd man out?

Makes me wonder if Langkow might not only be done for the season, but potentially career-wise with that scary slapper he took to the back of the neck in St. Paul last season.

Kotalik ($3 million), Steady Steve Staois ($2.7 million) are obvious candidates for other forms of cap relief. The Regehr trade rumours persist as well.

Would u take Briere and Shelly for Iginla???

I think Iginla would look sweet in the Black and Orange even though if you traded Iginla for a Center wouldn't it defeat the purpose of getting a good center?

this would be really great news if the contract called for him being the colour guy on the Sportsnet One broadcasts ... as a player ... not so much

lol...I guess it's a two-way deal. Conroy's gotta make the big club.

How about Iginla comes to the Eastern Conference Champs for a cool 500K. You can take Shelly. We'll pay for the plane tickets.

What if I throw in the coaching expertise of Riley Cote and the phenominal GM skills of Bobby Clarke???

Come on dash help me out here...

If you throw in the guy whose name Clarkie forgot at the draft (Claude, er, um oh yeah Giroux), then we can start negotiations.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

How about Trent Hunter & Radek Martinek for Iginla?? Does Iginla have a no trade clause?

its apparently a 2 way deal for $500K the league min.. he is 8 games away from 1000 so Im thinking he plays those and he either goes to the minors or retires....

I think you got it 100% right Matt. Good for Conroy, he was a good player in his prime and he's supposedly even a better guy off of the ice.

I know Dash prefers him to be off the ice. :p

LOL, I hope 4 of those 8 games he does play in are against the Sharks.

I probably should have waited until hearing the financial terms and that it's a two-way contract before commenting. Craig Conroy is a great guy and definitely is a great presence in the dressing room. Hopefully, he'll become an analyst with either TSN or Versus once he hangs up the skates.

Having said that, if/when Jokinen and Iggy struggle to find the net, how long until Sutter tries Conroy with Iggy?!? I sure hope that ship has sailed.
