Knowing that he had one of the most coveted players in this years trade deadline, should Conroy have held out for a return with fewer pieces, but of higher value?

Blue chip prospects don't get traded for rentals. Especially a rental in a tail spin. People are happy with the return because a lot were expecting a 1st + a B prospect for a retained Lindholm. It is recency bias but Brzustewicz looks clsoer to an A prospect than a B prospect.
Depending on your view of Brzustewicz vs Raty it is either the same as the Horvat trade or a little worse because of where the 1st round pick is likely to fall. This reads to a me as a Canuck fan downplaying what they paid for a rental.
