I can definitely say that ever since Conroy got the gig there have been a lot of lowball offers on players that might be available. Whether that is the market or just other GM's testing the new guy I can't say. Personally, I would rather extend Hanifin than have out new GM set a bad precedent of taking poor offers for assets.

I agree with the bold. I also agree that GMs are probably testing him - and as long as he holds his ground, that should self-correct. But if it doesn't, then better to sign him than make a bad trade and paint himself forever as someone to take advantage of (like Feaster).
