I hope Conroy goes all in on RFAs and leaves the UFAs to being an after thought.
The thing is, your RFAs have to be someone like Tkachuk to make it make sense.

Not sure we have someone like that in the pipe. I know what you mean about the Mangiapane contract, but not sure he's a guy you give max term to as an RFA
