Does it?
There's one Rasmus Andersson avail. Teams are bidding against each other as much (or more) as 'meeting' Conroy's asking price.
As long as there's at least 2 teams interested I don't see how saying anything either way lower's the price.
It's not like Dallas and LV are going to collude and both offer lower prices just to "screw" Calgary.
Same with Coleman and Kadri. When dealing with the top asset(s) in a trade and multiple interested teams I don't believe you need to bluff or play coy as the league itself will create the bidding war.
