Even if you were forced to pick between two very strict lane definitions (they're not) I don't think it would be much debate which lane they are in.
Teams that move UFAs before they expire for mostly futures and then leave $20M in cap space unused for 24 months are not in the "go for it" lane by any measure.
We've all said it a few times, but I think Conroy thought he had a bottom ten team last year and was as shocked as anyone that they were close. That moved him to honour their effort and not break it up, but still pause in adding reinforcements to their roster.
