I too would hope that Conroy didn't fumble the ball. I'd like to trust that he didn't, but we still don't have much of a sample size from him yet.
But we arent exactly in the position of weakness from the negotiation standpoint. We are firmly in the driver's seat. The leverage being twofold - Markstrom isnt a UFA, we don't have to trade him. And he's playing out of his mind on a team 3 points back of an improbable playoff spot.
Conroy holds all the cards here. I'd be playing hardball too
