I hope the not busy rest of the week comment means that they're staying out of the UFA signings.
I like Zadorov but if there's interest and it gets us more picks this draft do it.
Hanifin not imminent means nothing, all it takes is one good offer to come in.
Sure, try to sign Lindholm until you get a good offer instead, or he accepts something reasonable. I'm good either way, but there should be an internal deadline of sometime during the year (before the deadline) to either have him signed or move him. With Conroy's comments so far I'm not worried about it being another Gaudreau scenario though.
Re: Sharangovich, I'll stay cautious in getting optimistic... sure maybe he has something to prove, maybe he thinks he's got a better shot/spot in our lineup than with the Devils, maybe just better utilization brings something great. Or maybe he's a middle 6er that doesn't pan out at all. Or worst case maybe he even refuses to sign as an RFA this summer and goes to Europe... We'll see.
