Give it to someone coming up through the system. Maybe when Poirier makes the jump. He's likely not going to get his #4 with the big club.

You can’t “give” 14 to anyone - like, here kid, go get em.
That’s setting whoever it is up for failure.
Now, if a special player with the game to back it up comes to Conroy and says “I want 14” - different story. Maybe find a way to cleanse the number without removing it from circulation.
