Conroy might just not be very good at this trading thing. Shame because it was one of the few things Treliving actually excelled at (specifically referring to selling here).
Still, picks are better then re-signing him to the 5yr/5M+ deal he was looking for. And even better that the Flames might actually just be thinking big picture here for once. To sell off a UFA while in a playoff spot? That's a massive step forward for this franchise.
But yeah, should definitely lower expectations for what Hanifin and Lindholm will return. Ceiling is basically the Horvat deal - some junk and a mid to late first.
Most importantly, hope this means a full time spot for Solovyov. Oesterle is terrible.
