    Craig Conroy 3.2 mil a year ....... stupid owner...



    I agree with this article ... no fault for Conroy on taking the offer but the owners are always crying poor and then one idiot hands out a 3.2 mil a year long term contract to a 32 yr old who is injury prone and got less than 50pts last season.

    But I shouldn't be suprised considering this is the same team that gave Jason Allison 8 mil a year.

    Yeah. I'm sure the NHLPA will bring this up in future negotiations.

    But maybe LA figured that they had some cash to spend. They've dropped Deadmarsh, Allison, Palffy, Laparrier and Modry.

    But 3+ mill for a 3rd line checking centre is excessive.

          Well at least it's not what he would've made if there wasn't a looming lockout. Conroy would've gotten something in the 5-6 mil range if there was no labour strife iminent. Most of the signings have been in that range so far so it's not like the owners are breaking the bank but yeah it doesn't look good when they say they're losing money.

          I will say this tho I think that Conroy shouldn't have signed that deal. He had a great thing going in Calgary but hey when you get a lot of money shown to you you don't decline it.

                Conroy wanted to stay in Calgary but was not offered a long term team and no trade clause like he wanted from Sutter in one report I read. Conroy is a solid two way center who can create offense and can hold his own in the defensive end. Good move by LA.

                      Bleh. Who needs him anyway. The Flames got Jason Wiemer back, and he'll fit in nicely on a Daryl Sutter coached team!
