I don't see how Geekie fits what COnroy is looking for. Not to mention it looks like this year was an outlier a 22% shooting % and he had 10 more shots than last year. That is likely not to be repeated and he goes back down to a 11% shooter. He is also bad at faceoffs an area that we need to look to fix.
He also adds to our glut of middle 6 players, which we have plenty.
It goes against how I think the team should carry forward but the team lacks elite 1st line talent and that is Mitch Marner. If that is your target go for it, if you miss out on him you don't regroup and go after a Geekie or Ehlers. That is just being desperate.
