I think the upcoming UFA issue is kind of perfect (based on rumours). There’s little risk of hard choices going wrong. Sign the guys (and pay the good ones like Lindholm) that want to stay long term, and ship the ones who don’t or who may not be worth the coin (guys like Toffoli and Backlund need to come in cheaper).
It’s a good mix of stability and assets that will allow Conroy to keep the team competitive while starting to shape it to his vision.
