Conroy looks to improve the team, but the players he brings in need to fit the age range and have untapped upside. He's not bringing in a bunch of 30 year olds to shore up the backup or 3rd pairing. He's hoping to bring in players that he can sign for a long time who pop and become core pieces or high draft picks. The Markstrom and Toffoli trades were clear examples of his approach.
There have been several posts in the past showing that this team has traded away as many or more players than many other franchises in a declared rebuild.
