You 100% move forward with driving a trade, and pull the trigger if you get what you want.
But the he needs to be in by now mentality makes no sense. It makes no difference whether we sign him today or 5 days from now re: the outcome. This isn't a romantic relationship where needing any amount of time to make your mind up is some sort of indicator on if "he's actually into us". This is 100% a business decision for both sides (understood non business factors play in), and if you are Conroy or Hanifin, you make make the best business decision you can whenever that comes up.
If the Flames want Hanifin, and they haven't traded him in the next 2 days and he comes back and says he wants the deal, you take it. Don't make some dumb decision cause he "took to long".
The only dumb move Conroy can make at this point is NOT starting to pursue his trade options for him, and not take a trade he likes if one gets offered in "hopes" Hanifin might come around.
