You can say it's time to do something, but should Conroy make a deal that harms the future to help the team this season? Probably not.

Similarly should he not look at deals that help this team short-term where the cost is minimal? No. He should consider those too.

Ideally, and probably where he's focused is finding a deal that helps the team now and going forward. And the fact that a deal hasn't been made doesn't mean he isn't trying to improve the team, it just means he hasn't found a deal that offers that balance.

We shouldn't take the absent of a deal to meant that the team isn't "####ting or getting off the pot".
Nope, like I mentioned maybe just keeping this team together is the reward, but if he (Conroy) genuinely feels that this team has a shot at the playoffs, I feel we're at the breaking point where if they don't get help with goal scoring, they run the risk of dropping.

But its also entirely possible there just isn't a deal to be made now. Or to your point, you don't want to make a deal that hurts the team moving forward.

So to me, shotting or getting off the pot is just my way of suggesting they do what they can, if they can. That now is the time.
