I think Conroy also has to consider how those contract negotiations go if he pulled the rug out from under them this season by trading vets when the team busted their butts to be in a playoff spot at this point. Some of those guys might reconsider long term deals for short term deals that take them to UFA status quicker if they feel like that's the way the GM operates.
There is a lot more to managing a team than just assets in and assets out. You have to think about the long term consequences and opportunity cost for everything.
