They could do a fire sale at the draft but if one or two of these players get injured it's going to be a disaster.

Well he can't sign before the draft.
Conroy has to make a decision on Lindholm's intent and what he thinks the deal will come in at and go from there.
No other GM could do anything else.
Bad feeling? Then listen to offers. Want Lindholm and think he'll sign for something you're comfortable with you stand pat and move on to other assets.
The specifics though? I doubt anyone has that kind of information on what's going on inside the war room.
Insiders (outsiders) are just piecing together tidbits and making conclusions (and no I'm not mad at them or calling them fat!)
