You don't have to be in rebuild or win now camp to understand that.

Agreed. Hopefully, if these players are to be traded, all types of offers will be considered. A great example would be getting a player that looks ready to break out… like Jarvis or Johnson. That’s a re-tool option where the team gets younger and bets on a young player that has shown strong development at the NHL level. Obviously to get either of those guys, there would have to be an extension in place for Lindholm (even then, I doubt Carolina or Dallas would go for it).
But the point is, I hope Conroy is open to multiple offer types… so that he can choose one with the highest overall value. Keep in mind… rebuilding assets such as picks/prospects could be used in separate trades to acquire “win now” players if the team chooses to do that. So any returns for Lindholm are not limited to just being one type of end product (i.e. rebuild type or “win now” type)
