TSN has learned that Craig Conroy is leaving the Calgary Flames for the Los Angeles, signing with the Kings as a free agent.
The deal is for three years, plus an option. :|
Conroy missed 19 games this past season with a knee injury and scored 47 points in 63 games. However, he bounced back with a strong playoff, scoring 17 points in 26 games as the Flames reached the Stanley Cup Final.
The 32 year-old native of Potsdam, New York has elevated his game since arriving in Calgary in March of 2001. Conroy has spent much of his time centering a line with Jarome Iginla, giving the former checking centre a more pronouced offensive role; one that helped him score 188 points in 247 games over three-plus seasons with Calgary.
Conroy's status in the game has increased to the point that he was named to the U.S. World Cup team that will compete later this summer.
