Now that Ekblad is signed, the smart thing for Conroy to do is to let the UFA dust settle tomorrow, and hold teams that missed out on their UFA's over the barrel in terms of assets coming back. If it needs to be with a team that can't extend, so be it. As others have mentioned, those teams will still probably have a better offer than what Vegas can give up for an extended Andersson.
And from seeing how Connie operates, I bet that's exactly what he's doing right now.
