This makes a lot of sense. Andersson should be dealt with in the summer so he and the team can have more certainty. I think Conroy and the rest of the veteran core want to see if last season was a building block or a one off where the buy in and vibes carried them further than they ever should have been capable.
I think Conroy will look to add a piece or two either short term free agents or if he can acquire a long term young piece like Rossi, Byram or whoever else is available in that age bracket.
If this season goes poorly I think Coleman and Backlund might have to contemplate what they want to do. Kadri as well but with 3 years left after next year he could still be into seeing things through.
