Had you told me Holtz + 1st + Casey (potentially) was available two months ago I would have said that's a huge overpayment
To me there is a lot of risk is waiting until the offseason and hoping to get a better offer. I think his peak value is right now (unless you think Buffalo or another team outside the playoff picture will overpay in the offseason). Plus he has to agree to moving to whoever has the best offer too, and he seems willing to move to New Jersey.
Really feels like Conroy might just be too fixated on a player that New Jersey isn't likely to move. It's okay to really push for a specific asset, but sometimes you also have to be flexible to garner maximum return too.
