There could be a little bit of protection but if it kicks to the '26 pick nothing.
So I go for:
Tom Willander + 2025 1st (limited protection)
For Retained Elias.

I have a tough time seeing them moving Willander (Friedman even speculated this morning that Vancouver isn't interested in moving either Lekkermaki and Willander).
If something like a Willander + 1st comes through on a Lindholm trade, I think that's an absolute homerun by Conroy.
