He needs to play in a top 6 to really develop his skills which means taking Pospisil off the Kadri line. I think Conroy is playing it right, they can either include the piece you want or they can go pound sand. Make them sweat it out, there is time.

Only center that pops off my head at first thought would be Zegras, he is only 22 and a ways away from UFA but I understand your reservations around that player as well come the time he’d be UFA, could easily be a Tkachuk 2.0. But he’d be 4 seasons from that and the flames new arena would be here.
Huberdeau - Zegras - Kuzmenko
That’d be a pretty fun line honestly, not very D-focused though
I’m with you though, Conroy is proving to be savvy and he isn’t one to make rash decisions as a GM, his next few plays however they shake out I’m confident will be well thought out deals.
