We don't know what the offer is but if its Holtz + 1st rounder and Conroy wants Mercer + 1st rounder, I wonder if Conroy would cave on Holtz + 1st rounder + 3rd (or 4th or 5th, whatever it takes) to get the deal done.
Hopefully we can get a deal done before Friday

Maybe Conroy is playing the long game here. Waits to make it harder for the Devils to make it, before finally accepting the Devils' best offer, only for them to not make the playoffs anyway. Their pick is not lottery protected (as Conroy made sure) and they win the lottery with their pick. Calgary picks in the top 10 twice this draft.
