If Conroy can snag that 10th overall it's a pretty significant win for him. I only see 10th OA being in play if there is 50% retention, or if there's a pick going back of note to NJD in the deal.
A 34 year old goalie just hasn't returned something as high value as a 10th overall pick in the modern NHL era. I'm not saying it won't happen, but that if it does - it's extremely good work by Conroy.

I think a lot of fans are putting two separate tidbits into one. New Jersey is rumoured to be back in on Markstrom and they have stated that the 10th OA could be available for the right player.
I'm with TheScorpion, I think we'll likely get the 2025 1st and a prospect. I'm happy with that in a return for Markstrom. Sure, there's a chance we get the 10th OA, I just don't see it, personally. I think they'd do it for a younger goalie, locked up.
