2) They had no real pressure point on any of their assets that they had to make a deal
Now this is the pressure point again, if they don't make any trades beyond moving Andersson this year then I think the fan base can be annoyed and you can say they aren't willing to actually be proactive and do what's right for the team long term.
I'll give Conroy until the trade deadline this year but if we get passed the trade deadline with Kadri and Coleman on the roster, with rumours for 4 months about how teams would kill to trade for those guys then it's time to really question the organization.
Those guys wanting to be part of the solution or not they need to be moved because there is no chance for a 35 and 34 year old to be part of the solution, age prevents it

Conroy has never, as an assistant GM or Gm ,been a part of a successful rebuild in Calgary since 2004. Not sure he knows how to approach it. Making Backlund the captain was a mistake. A captain leads by example not by seniority.
