It is not if the 1st is past the top 20. Maybe 2% more likely to add an impact player with a late 1st vs any 2nd.
Also, Kuznetsov and Soloyov are both 24/25 years old, have 200+ games in the AHL and deserve a crack. I think it would be better for the team if they start the season with the Flames. Also, there is a pretty decent chance that the offers actually do not get better or even worse as the season goes on. Can anyone actually guarantee they offers will improve and by how much?

If you budge on Rasmus and accept an inferior offer you will budge on future deals too. Why would any GM not just wait out Conroy on future deals with that precedent. If teams want a right shot dman Rasmus is one of the only quality ones available. If you fold on a good asset you will definitely fold on less desirable assets you might want to trade in the future (or at least that is what people will think).
