Defenceman Nikita Okhotiuk has been traded to the Flames.
While the Calgary Flames had a relatively quiet day on Friday making just one minor move before the NHL trade deadline, there was no lack of noise leading up to it for Craig Conroy.
Conroy was also determined to not let the same thing happen to him that happened to his predecessor, Brad Treliving, when star Johnny Gaudreau played out the final year of his contract in 2021-22 and then signed with Columbus as a free agent, leaving Calgary with nothing.“It wasn’t just Gaudreau. Brodie left, Giordano left,” said Conroy on Friday.
“It’s tough. All great players, all good people, and I wish them all the best,” said Conroy. “But again, I knew we had to do this for the organization and the franchise moving forward.”4“The players and us, we wanted to see where it was going, and see how we were going to do,” said Conroy. “As we turned the corner, we picked up conversations again, and obviously it takes two people to agree to a deal and we just couldn’t get it done.
He had three goals and eight assists in 58 career NHL games split between San Jose and the New Jersey Devils.
