Totally get it but we’re still a ways from the trade deadline in the hockey realm, a lot can happen in 3 weeks and there are some tight races; I think by this weekend though we should start to see some movement. I’m not too worried about Markstroms play dropping off or a couple bad starts here hurting his current perceived value. He carries a ton of value with his pedigree and remaining term and a palatable AAV especially if Calgary ends up retaining. With teams that are really good and in their current win window I think we will be happy with the return. Tanev does make me nervous but at the same time holding him out too long before you’re actually able to realize full value is a dance. There is lots of interest in Tanev and you have to keep him sharp playing wise too, if you sit him teams will wonder why just from the nature of the player whether the flames indicate he’s healthy or not. Tanev will happen soon, Marky I think will happen before the deadline but I could see being pushed if Conroy feels the return is low. Hanifin I think could go right to the deadline and I think it’s because Conroy wants to realize the most out of him possible and that might require teams reacting and feeling like they’ve missed out on improving their team.
