He can do both -- as long as the first round picks he's dangling are the Vegas/New Jersey/Florida first rounders and not a Calgary first rounders.
A young centre like Dach would be good in the medium and long term plans, but that player isn't immediately going to pull a team out of the basement. I mean look at Montreal. They made that trade and the next year had the fifth overall pick. (They also had the fifth the following year and are workign there way towards another bottom 10 pick this year, but Dach was injured last and hasn't had a great start so far this year).
A young centre with good potential is just one part of a team.
I'd be more worried if Conroy is offering Calgary's first rounder at this point of the season for a Dach type player, as that pick could be a very high pick.
