I think fans over react to the terms being used. I'm sure out of 4 hockey executives one of them will bring up the downside of being in the first lane.

Yeah, sounds like Conroy might look to pull off a 2015 draft "Dougie Hamilton" type trade if one is out there.
I could see him going after Zegras in this manner, although I doubt Anaheim has much desire to deal him in division.
This isn't terrible but it could be a mistake long term. While Boston completely whiffed on the 1st and two 2nds they got from Tre for Hamilton, there were players there that could have been taken instead who would have been better long term for the franchise than Dougie was and might have even outlasted Lindholm/Hanifin as well.
