I'd rather take a bad deal then re-sign him, for the drawbacks you stated and more. Re-signing him blocks a roster spot, ice time, eats cap and doesn't align (in my opinion) with our realistic competition window.
Just using Lindholm as a constant example. Even if all we got was Brzustewicz alone, I think Conroy would of made the amethyst move of trading him rather the re-signing him. I would of rather him walked for free.
Great moves by Conroy there. Hopefully he can do it again.
