I thought he didn’t get very good value except for Lindholm tbh. That Hanifin trade was pretty bad.
According to Seravalli, Hanifin nixed upwards of three separate deals by outright saying he wouldn't re-sign with those teams. It's very reminiscent of what Kesler did to us and why we also got an underwhelming return. The only difference is Kesler actually had a full NTC whereas Hanifin pretended like he did.
What Conroy does have to learn is not talking players at their word. He never should have allowed Hanifin to hymn and haw all season. Get an answer from him and move on if he isn't saying what you want to hear.
In any case, I'd say Vegas is the clear winner. Although, Colorado made some pretty stellar moves too.
Loser would be Edmonton if only because I'm just surprised they're yet again not going all in. 16 game winning streak, team morale seemingly high after a horrendous start. You'd think they would want to pull out all the stops before Draisaitl and McDavid cash in.
On the whole though, Ottawa would be my pick. Dorian just f***ed them. Right from the word go, this season has been awful for them. All you can really hope for is a rebound now that everyone from the old guard is finally gone.
