In a chat with Steinberg after the draft, Conroy mentioned that as part of the whole process, the team of scouts, with management reviews past years' picks, their development since they were picked to understand if they need to shift on any of their criteria, so my expectation and guess is they do the same for contract offers, trades, etc. Hopefully, they'll have reviewed the entire path that got them ultimately to the decision that offering Lindholm 8.5M per year was a smart decision, which was pretty clearly the wrong decision. Identify their biases, their poor analytics or whatever metrics or considerations were key in leading to that almost disastrous choice.
