I don’t think they are. For all intents and purposes each gm represents their own teams’ interests. Certainly there is collusion behind the scenes but if you don’t make a move and someone does pony up the ask, you lose out on the guy you want. So I don’t think collectively they’re waiting for Conroy to crack. They may not value particular guys as much so they’re fine holding off at the current offer if they have other balls in the air. I just hope behind the scenes Conroy is using the media for his own benefit. Every year there are flavours of the month hyped by the media. If he creates a frenzy where owners start calling down to their GMs, perhaps that’s enough to push a GM over the edge to boost the offer.
