Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Craig Conroy, a vetetan of over 1,000 NHL Games, appears to be leaning towards retirement after clearing waivers. The 39 year old pride of Potsdam, New York has scored 182 goals and 360 assists for a total of 542 points over a span of 1,009 NHL contests. He has donned the sweaters of the Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Los Angeles Kings, and Calgary Flames. Looks like another veteran down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 He had a couple very good season. I've always liked the guy. He's been relatively healthy too, played 75 or more games a season for almost every season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChelisChick 174 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 I saw that a couple of days ago. Makes me sad. The Flames signed him to a league-minimum 2-way contract this year. I don't think he would've been signed at all except for all the injuries they had to start the season. The GM told him to take the All-Star break to decide what he wanted. Craig was taking his family to Banff for a mini-vacation. I guess they'll decide what's best while they're there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
