Of all the Flames players listed in this series, Craig Conroy will likely draw the most controversy. That's because he might be one of the most under-appreciated Flames in recent memory.
During his time in Calgary, the Flames were always criticized as an organization unable to "find Jarome Iginla a center," an insult to Conroy and symptom of how underrated he was. It's true that Conroy was never a Stamkos, Getzlaf or Crosby during his heyday, but he nevertheless was one of the most effective two-way forwards this team has ever seen.
It's just his bad luck that his career was ending just as the metrics that would more fully capture his on-ice value were coming into general use.
