I agree. Once past the deadline, his value will decrease as a trade will only cover one playoff.
I also agree with a prior poster who indicated that his trade value does not go up and down like the stock market based on small sample sizes. My wording, but his point.
His recent downside in points doesn't matter that much, much like his early surge did not define him as a player. GM's know who he is and what they are getting. He's a reliable dman. Likely the best available and signed also for next year at a very reasonable amount.
Holding on to him over the deadline will decrease his trade value. But if Calgary is close to, or in, a playoff spot at that time, what is Conroy to do unless he's gets a too good to be true offer?
