Yeah I have a feeling Conroy knew July 1 and days prior was prime conditions for weaponizing that cap space, and came up mostly empty.
In on Zucker, Debrusk, Wennberg and others, and each of those situations would’ve been a bit different dynamic, but all utilizing cap space, and all didn’t turn out.
