IMO those prices were only going to go up for a pure rental guy like Tanev.
A guy with the character of Tanev is coveted, there is no real comparison available in his situation right now, so Dallas would've still been there this time next week, with more to offer, at worst...for example that conditional pick may not be conditional anymore, or nor would it be 2 years out.

Why do you assume that? Recent history shows the bigger fish get snapped up in the weeks before the deadline, and the deadline itself mainly sees bargain shopping for the leftovers.
The Flames would have circled back to every team interested in Tanev and told them they had a final chance to up their offers. Evidently, they didn’t. Unless they thought Conroy was bluffing, why would these teams not give him their genuine best offer?
