IMO Conroy is trying to insert himself and his cap space into the discussion.
I know it hasn't really paid off yet, but he seemed to be all over that stuff last year.
Contenders looking to do a hockey trade might need to dump a player, or find another team to eat some cap, and maybe that's a place where Conroy can help in exchange for picks/prospects.
Like, Dallas has to be in on Petey, no? They could do a hockey trade but might need someone to eat a few million in short term cap space.
