I guess it just means they really don't have a strong appetite to move Markstrom if holtz+ is an offer they could resist.
It's been said again and again, we might as well believe it.
This team is strongly prioritizing remaining competitive.
I hope this mindset doesn't hinder our future too drastically.

I think Conroy has pretty much told us all what he's looking for, a 22-23 year old center. That probably takes some draft capital or some of our current pieces (Hanifin, Tanez, Markstrom etc.) to acquire or to the get the pieces to acquire one at a later date. I'm guessing but a guy like Holtz, although talented, likely isn't on the want or need list.
We will get our young centerman sometime over the next 6 months, they probably have 2 to 3 targets, likely Mercer is one of them but who knows.
I hope heads don't explode here when some of these draft picks are sent away in a trade to acquire a known piece at the draft.
