I like Conroy, and love having him in the organization (you could just feel his giddiness at the Gaudreau/Arnold signing), but I also wonder if he has the personality to make the hard, unpopular "gotta be an a-hole for the good of the team" decisions a GM has to make occasionally. Has he had to make those types of decisions in terms of the Heat?

If he can, then sure, I'd consider him. If he would have to rely on Burke to be that guy, I'd say he's not ready.
