What are the options you see?
I think if you make a hockey trade you 100% downgrade. No way you get an equal or better player to Lindholm making 5 million. I think trying to go that route would be foolish. They did that with Tkachuk and Toffoli and you downgraded twice. That seems like a treading water strategy.
A futures deal is likely a downgrade as well but at least has more potential for a home run and also gives a longer runway to try and build around those pieces. But if that's your strategy then actually commit to that strategy and go all in on it. Trying to win now and retool is likely counter productive.
Do you see another path Conroy could take?
