Agree with all of this, but I wonder if this trade being made a week early actually gives Conroy some additional leverage for a potential Hanifin deal, given that he’s now (arguably) in a tier of his own when it comes to UFA d-men.
Particularly since Tanev didn’t go to one of the teams most often rumoured to be after a d-man.
