This is about Hanifin. While I applaud Conroy for the Lindholm trade, the process was similar. Contract on the table, contract off the table, contract on the table, contract off the table. Seeing and hearing this stuff does not give one confidence there is a plan in place. It is indicative of flying by the seat of one's pants, which is what the previous manager did to get us in this position in the first place. There should have been a contract put in front of the player with a firm date for having a signature on it. Hearing this stuff about the team giving the player more time to decide, when they've had half a season to decide, is weak. Control the situation. This team has a history of not doing so.
I liked how Conroy handled Toffoli. How he handled Toffoli was how he should have handled all of the UFAs to be. Not part of the plan? You're out of here. Don't want to commit to the team? You're out of here. If Hanifin hasn't put his signature on a contract by now, ship him out. Get it done and quite ##### footing around.
