Uniform lower-bound and convergence conjecture for the Bers constants of metric graphs

For each rank r3r\geq 3, let CrC_r be the constant from the theorem asserting that every rank-rr metric graph contains a proper subgraph whose entropy is at least CrC_r. Conjecture on the constants CrC_r. The constant CrC_r is universally bounded from below in rr, and moreover converges to 11 as rr\to\infty. The source proves convergence to 11 for roses and conjectures the corresponding statement for general metric graphs.
