I don't think many fit into that category anymore. I think Conroy has done an excellent job up until this point and I only wanted to see Andersson traded...especially with these values. I don't want Rasmus to be re-signed, and I believe most teams will look back at the high prices paid this year and will hold onto assets more tightly next year. This will undoubtedly result in a much lower return for Andersson as the acquiring team will only get him for one playoff run with his excellent contract.
I just think Conroy may have missed a good chance to make the team better in the future with this trade deadline.
