I have very little confidence in Conroy after missing out at the TDL given the prices paid for worse players than Rasmus.

That is a silly thing to say. It is like you are ignoring Conroy's entire body of work and then dumping your own personal drama on him to form your hot take.
There is really one reason that makes sense for why Conroy hasn't traded Andersson this summer: He set a price and no one has met it yet.
Conroy has demonstrated that he will make the trade and move the player before they get to UFA. The fact that he has not traded Andersson yet is not evidence that Andersson will not be traded.
However, I do think it is safe to assume that Conroy is demonstrating that he won't be pushed around by other GMs with their lowball offers. Especially if they are showing up with arguments as weak as the ones on this board... "blah blah blah -38".
