Maybe. In theory it seems like forcing the rest of the league to wait until the last minute to try and increase the best offer is easy, but I really doubt it works like that when it's a game of musical chairs.
For example, what if Vegas tells Conroy this was the most they were willing to part with and if they can't agree now they can't risk missing out on a trade deadline addition so they'll pivot to another target in mind?
You can call their bluff, but that could also result in taking a worse offer from Tampa or Florida. I suspect GMs are more up front about their available assets and specific timelines than we expect.
