I think Conroy has generally been moving in the right direction and making the team younger with some good building blocks for the future. The obvious bright spots are Wolf as (hopefully) the long-term franchise star goalie. And Parekh as (hopefully) the long-term franchise star defencemen.
The part missing though is the impact star forwards. We've got good pieces but no sure-thing star forward to build around, especially a potential 1C. Until we get one of those we are going to feel stuck.
I would be doing everything to try to move Kadri and Andersson right now for picks and prospects in the hope that we can get lucky and find a 1C.
