It's just a natural defense mechanism to convince yourself to not get hurt over a missed opportunity.

Based on all the info that was provided, you can pretty much have a damn good idea of what's already on the table. Probably Holtz. Probably a pick.
‘Probably’

Let’s just say it was Holtz and a pick. Also sounds like retention had something to do with the deal not yet being realized. What are we talking about? 10%, 20%, 50%?

The same defence mechanism you’re alluding to goes the other way as well. Saying Conroy missed an opportunity without knowing what the opportunity actually was seems bit shortsighted, no?

Seems like Conroy played his cards well with Lindholm, I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Deadlines two weeks away.
