More to the point, these were Conroy's comments after teh Mangiapane trade:

I think you have to have your head pretty far into the sand to not hear what that says.

Will they try to grab some UFAs? Yes. But not to try and compete, but simply to round out the roster and have more assets to trade.
Strategic signings with the potential to flip for more assets would be welcomed. Taking on bad contracts for more assets would be smart. Hopefully that is the plan.
