Oh I get it but if Conroy is asking for a Holtz + a 1st for Markstrom and then Casey plus something else for the retention and playoffs are out of reach then the Devils can punt it to the offseason where cap opens up and they’ll have more options. The pressure to do it now is to make the playoffs this season. If management deems it a lost cause then they are better to spend less assets and address later.
