Weegar Gives Conroy a Rare Tip of the Cap After Utah Deal

Mackenzie Weegar is publicly praising Craig Conroy after the deal that sent him to Utah, and that kind of post-trade respect usually says more than a polished quote ever could. Front-office relationships matter in this league, especially when players know a GM handled the business cleanly and kept the process professional. The Flames and their former defenseman may be on different tracks now, but this kind of reaction tells you the trade left fewer bruises than most.
