The market will still be good come the offseason and there will be more teams with room available at that time.

It's a great silver lining.
With lot of the veterans and leadership group from the past regime having been shipped out, this group knows its their team now. No more distractions for the rest of the year, and have an excellent goalie at the helm to give them confidence.
If someone had told me when Conroy was hired that on TDL day 2024 we would have been successful in moving out all 5 of our UFA's and still had an 18 % chance at playoffs I would have been pretty happy with that.
