But if it does, Conroy can start trading out players again. And how he behaves this year (buyer or seller) will really dictate the future of this organization.

Yeah, I forget, what were the positions pre and post TDL last season? They went on a real slide when the pending UFAs were traded. This season there are 7 pending UFAs, though none as sought after as Hanifin/Tanev/Lindholm/Zadorov/Toffoli - the biggest trade bait will be Kuzmenko and Mantha and maybe Vladar depending on their seasons. But they could also make moves with guys who are a year away like Andersson, Backlund, Bean, Pospisil, Miromanov, etc. And I sippose a team might even be interested in Kadri with $7M no longer being as big a cap hit.
It's pretty possible that in 2 years the only current vets still around will be Huberdeau, Weegar and Sharky.
