Huberdeau, nuff said.
Vladar’s year is pretty much in line with his past. He has not been great nor consistent.
Kuzmenko has been useless.
It’s not like they have a bunch of tradeable assets. I am obviously excluding the young decent players.
Our most highly paid players are our biggest disappointments.

If I was Conroy, my to do list would be:
(1) Take as much as you can get for Vladar (because of Cooley), Barrie and Kuzmenko in advance of the TDL, using retention to do so;
(2) Trade Andersson if the return is big enough;
(3) Try to use cap space to get more futures (ex: by facilitating TDL deals through retention or taking salary cap dumps, or by retaining on your own players during trades); and
(4) Do not trade away any futures unless by some miracle, an age-appropriate centre with potential becomes available for a reasonable price.
