Craig Conroy Clears Waivers, May Retire

Filed under: ,

CALGARY -- Craig Conroy's playing days with the Calgary Flames are over. Now it's up to him to determine whether he wants to hang up the skates for good.

The Calgary Flames center cleared waivers on Wednesday and has two options in front of him: report to the Flames' AHL farm team in Abbotsford, B.C. or retire.

"It's a tough day,'' admitted Calgary interim general manager Jay Feaster. "As I told Craig, I had the very unenviable task of having to deal with Dave Andreychuk at the end of his career. He was our captain in Tampa, we won a Stanley Cup together, and it was very, very difficult. As I told Connie today, I don't enjoy this; it's one of the worst parts of the job. But unfortunately there are tough decisions that have to be made.''
