Sure and while I also stick to the old adage pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered the art is all in how it’s communicated to NJ. If Conroy is honest / upfront about shopping around premium assets and not necessarily bonafide offers it’s fair game and likely every GM does this (how else do you test an opaque market?).
I’m sure Fitz gets it. It’s not rocket science and if he wants it closed faster, offer more or say your offer is only good for X time (and stick to it).
I doubt NHL negotiations mirror Shark tank negotiations very much.
