That's the most logical way I see it, which would be too bad.
What’s more logical, and fits with the reports, is that Conroy himself did not agree to a deal because the Devils wanted him to retain salary but were not willing to give up additional assets to make that worthwhile. There's no reason to suppose the owners were involved in that decision.
