What are you getting at? Do you feel he isn't qualified? If so, why?
I feel he is probably qualified now for 2 reasons:
1) He has spent the last 6(?) years in all facets of management. Right from scouting to trades (yes, he has had input there apparently), cap management, signings - Conroy has been sitting on everything getting experience in everything related to becoming a GM. That was what he signed up for, and that is why he has been moved around a lot. 2 seasons ago he was the GM of the Adirondack Flames, for instance. He has been mentored all this time by Feaster, Burke and now Treliving, as well as the rest of the management team in getting him up to speed with what they do and how they go about doing it. IIRC, he basically got to do everything in hockey ops at one point or another thus far.
2) He is actually (rumored) getting interest in that role from an external team.
Why would you feel he isn't qualified by now? How long should it take? Is there some type of test that he needs to pass? What exactly has he been working on that you feel he hasn't done a good enough job with?
I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of his duties for the last 6 years, but I would guess that he has been doing a good enough job to be retained, and now to start being considered from a different team. Makes sense, no?
