NHL Draft | Craig Conroy - 29.06.24

“The one thing we talked about was adding more skill, bringing more skill in. I think we did that again today.”

[@RedHotHockeyYYC]

Chef Conroy really cooked. He's a sharp GM.

Great job Connie!! Now stick to the rebuild and in 2025 draft Porter Martone and Caleb Desnoyers and in 2026 you get the best player the Flames have ever had in Gavin McKenna!! Flames win the cup 2030

I liked the question about the in-person draft. It has always been one of the most exciting parts of the NHL and something that made it unique - like how the players lift the cup first. I’m not sure how their ratings normally are, but I personally won’t feel a need to tune in anymore like I have every year.

[@lavery87]

It’s still an in-person draft but the owners don’t have to all be in one spot. If it’s like the NFL we will be completely fine.

[@bradbradbury8561]

One of the few things the NHL truely gets right, makes sense that they would get rid of it.

[@BestDraftClass]

Conroy in his element! Hes stoked!

Zayne “ Seoul Train “ Parehk

[@jasonkh4]

To be able to add high end dmen like Parekh, Mews, and Jamieson to a stable that already boasts Brzustewicz, Morin, Poirier, Grush, Solo, and Kuzy is humongous. Not to mention a quartet of top rated forwards Basha, Battaglia, Gridin, and Misa and perhaps a couple diamonds in the rough with Hoskin and Laing, and a young Russian tendy with a 1.99 and a .944. Conny was most definitely cooking up a storm today, in one of our best drafts in a long time, if not ever. I’m just choked we didn’t snag 50+ goal menace Justin Poirier, but I guess the good news is that nobody else did either. Maybe we can just sign him to an entry level deal, or take him next year. All in all, a great two days for the future of the Flames 💪🏼👨🏼‍🍳🔥LFGF Edit: I can’t believe I missed the Canes snag Poirer at 156th. Ah well, on one hand he is smaller than the guys we got, but on the other hand the guy plays a damn big game and is only 17. I think Canes fans are gonna love him.

[@jasonkh4]

@@jamesisraelson3138 Jeremie has a brother named Justin who plays RW and was the QMJHL leading scorer in both regular season and playoffs this past year. Only 17, kinda small but plays a big game, was really hoping Conny would take him, but we still got a couple of quality RW prospects in Gridin and Battaglia

[@PepeAtreides-s3b]

I think Russian players are happy to play anywhere other than Russia You never know when you’re gonna get tapped on the shoulder and told you’re going to Ukraine

[@rkumar3000]

Awesome draft picks 👍👍

[@ryandahlman5067]

It looks like one of the better drafts they had. Interesting, when he mention veteran leaders, no mention of Huberdeau. Lots of talk of Kadri getting traded but you wonder if Conroy is just posturing for a trade or he really does want Kadri next season?

[@I_amTurok]

We don't want Kadri trade him while we can

It makes about as much sense as Jagr having a plastic evian bottle of holy water in the locker room.

[@bennywurz2995]

Cowgary Flakes didn't get Iggy JR😅

[@I_amTurok]

Oh well atleast edmonton didn't get a cup that's what matters

[@patrickcarleton1073]

probably just as well, bit too much pressure on the guy with that name on the back. Iggy Sr is on staff too so nepotism would be tricky to deal with if results aren't instant. Imagine in the future Coilers have McDavid Jr, poor guy if that happens. Plus icing on the cake is Zayne Parekh is a sweet pick at #9

[@jasonkh4]

@@patrickcarleton1073💯% What was supposed to happen, did. I wanted Tij, but still stoked that we got Parekh.

[@CLo-ly1ic]

Tij will goto Utah do his thing but don't think for a second Tij doesn't feel the love from Flames fans and it's a business and Tij will be able to make his own choice not controlled by Utah
