My read is that the NJ devils GM is also a pretty shrewd negotiator. I think he got Conroy to cave a little in the Toffoli trade because he had the leverage at that point. I think this is a bit of a ploy to see if Conroy will bend a bit again. This time Conroy stood his ground so NJ took the ball and went home. He will be back once we realizes that Conroy isn't sitting outside his window with a boombox over his head.
