Unless someone is going to blow Conroy’s tight fitting socks off, I don’t think we’ll see a Rasmus Andersson trade any time soon.

I agree that it probably does not happen, but it should. Conroy needs to keep it going.
We are likely a bottom team with Andersson so maybe he doesn't need to do it now. But like I said last summer when we didn't sign guys like Lindholm and Hanifin, having them until the trade deadline is costing much more than what we gained at the trade deadline. It's hard to say the price was really that much better at the deadline than the rumors were in the off season, but we pick 9th rather than top 5 now.
I don't think the offers get better in time either. Rasmus had a 50-point year with Gaudreau, Lindholm and Tkachuk on the PP with him. He had 39 last year and lost his #1 PP spot. It's time to move him
