How many ACTUAL and COMPLETED moves has the team made that suggest they are trying to win now. Not rumored moves. Not things that didn't happen. Actual things.

Imagine how hard it would be to attract players if they tanked and actually tried to suck as much as possible. You would probably never sign a UFA again.
Trying to keep Hanifin who is probably a top 25 dman in the NHL and is currently 28 years old is something every single team in the NHL would try to do. So Conroy tried to do it.
