If the team is not playing well and it is looking like a rebuild year, I think it’s easier to justify sending Gridin down. But if the team is winning and Gridin is a contributor to that winning, I think Conroy will have to try to make some room. Really tough to send the kid down and say “I’ll find some room for you at some point - just keep playing well on the Wranglers till then.”
Trading Sharangovich and/or Farabee are the first options that come to mind but trading them early in the season would likely be trading them at their lowest value. Not sure Conroy will want to do that.

If that Miromanov for Husso trade happens, that will help. They just send Honzek down and run with 14 forwards and 7 D. If not, I think Miromanov goes on waivers and they run 14 and 7. Hard to say if Gridin can keep this up, but he's looking like the real deal.
