I don't think Zad's value decreases at all with a trade request. He is what he is as a player, he's a pending UFA and Calgary is at the bottom of the league. Any GM can put 2 and 2 together and know he is available with or without the trade request.
The agent can try to pressure Conroy for a trade but Conroy hold the cards on when a deal happens, and a deal only happens when the return is right. That hasn't changed at all.
