It feels as if the offseason is at a standstill and we're digging for scraps. While Craig Conroy is taking some time off, the futures of Rasmus Andersson and Connor Zary hang in the balance. Today, Jessica Belmosto shares her thoughts on the lingering anxiety and anticipation around trading the defenseman who was once the heartbeat of your team. What leverage does Connor Zary and his agent have when it comes to negotiating his next contract? The Flames and his camp are reportedly $1m apart. That doesn't sound like a big deal but there's implications of giving in. Who are the young players we're looking forward to seeing make the NHL roster? Besides Zayne Parekh, could we see a breakout year for Sam Honzek? What lies ahead for Rory Kerins and Jeremie Porier?
