The goal should be to get younger not older. We have plenty of vets and the few young players we have on the roster right now are learning and they will have to take on leadership roles as we bring in other younger players.
Huberdeau is a great leader and pro. Don’t think the team needs 5 more over 30s on the roster for that type of role.

Of course not. I think Lomberg is a shoe-in due to his contract and "spirit". Then we need one of, two of at most, Andersson, Weegar and Coleman.
Just being a vet doesn't make you the best bet to bring in, and up, young players with a bright future. I think these three have the "qualifications" to be "the guy".
Conroy needs to pick who's going to be that guy, then explore what he can get for the others.
Edit: Or, maybe he needs to explore what he can get for each first before deciding who is "the guy" as that should also factor into the decision.
