I dont understand all this hang up on the extension. The best trade Conroy has made thus far was for a pure rental in Lindholm.
You can extract significant value for pure rentals.
Of course teams may not want him at all if he doesn't want to extend, but what contender wouldn't want to add a player like Rasmus at 50% retained.
To me this comes down to risk of injury during the year. Which is a huge risk for your biggest trade chip.
If I were to guess, I bet the situation is something like, Calgary want the situation resolved ASAP. But Raz's camp doesn't want to commit to any team save for maybe a couple. He wants to be traded to a contender or cup favorite, bet on himself and put up a huge year, then cash in as a UFA next summer.
If Conroy finds himself handcuffed, I wonder if a pivot to the rental market is the best move.
What teams are on the cusp and need some D depth?.....don't say Edmonton.
