Craig Conroy. It was John Weisbrod before this year.

Responsible for making minor league trades, signing guys to ATOs and PTOs. Calling people up from the ECHL. Probably reports back to the GM on the developmental progress of their prospects. Does some pro scouting obviously. Stuff like that I'd assume.
