Winning the wars for Eichel and Stone on the trade front was franchise defining stuff.
I think when you look at those two trades, it's why Conroy should absolutely not spend/over-spend on players like Dylan Cozens. We don't need that tier of player.
Be patient, develop your players and maintain your asset base so that IF that franchise defining trade does pop up in the market, you can strike.

Well thought out.
I think it also shows he advantage that certain American markets have over placed like Calgary. Players want to be there.
