The Flames acquired Conroy from the Los Angeles Kings on Monday in exchange for Jamie Lundmark, a fourth-round draft choice in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft and a second-round draft choice in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
Conroy returns to Calgary where he played in four seasons between 2001 and 2004. He was a member of the Flames' Western Conference championship team during the 2003-04 season and captained the club during the 2002-03 campaign. In 237 regular season games with the Flames he recorded 188 points with 60 goals and 128 assists. During the 03-04 playoffs he added another 17 points including 6 goals in 26 games.
A veteran of 12 NHL seasons, Conroy has twice been a finalist for the Frank J. Selke Trophy while accumulating 411 points in 706 career games with Montreal, St. Louis, Calgary and Los Angeles. Conroy signed as a free agent with Los Angeles on July 6, 2004. In 52 games this season he has recorded 5 goals and 11 assists for 16 points.
Originally drafted by the Montreal Canadiens as their sixth round selection (123rd overall) in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft, Conroy was traded to St. Louis in 1996. Calgary first acquired the former U.S. Olympian with a seventh round pick from St. Louis on March 13, 2001 in exchange for Cory Stillman.
Lundmark has played in 39 games with the Flames this season and has four assists and 31 penalty minutes. The Edmonton native has played in 203 career regular season NHL games with the Flames, Phoenix Coyotes and New York Rangers and has 62 points (20g, 42a) and 142 penalty minutes. He has also played in four playoff games, recording one assist and seven penalty minutes.
Hockey Guy Notes: This trade will start the next wacky month of trades and rumors because today is 1 month to the Febuary 27th trade deadline. This a good move for the flames and Lundmark has been a big bust!!
