Conroy made fair, not exorbitant, offers to players who had been here a long time.
They didn’t accept them, and I suspect Conroy never wanted them to.
In any event.
They went to the draft with 9 picks.
They made 10, and it’s quite possible their first pick is a franchise cornerstone defenseman.
They didn’t try and trade anything for an established player.
They may soon trade one or more of Kadri, Coleman, or Andersson.
On Thursday, they had no dynamic players.
They’ve got one now.
They need to add two or three more in the next three drafts.
Operation Battagliosa is a go.
