It does give Conroy some leverage in his next contract negotiation even if he doesn't get the Sabres gig. His stock is rising.

I think the point here is that if there were any concern or intent to supplant Treliving, then the Flames would likely be more reticent to allow Conroe to interview for outside positions on the understanding that he would be the Flames' next GM. In other words, this is a pretty good indicator that Treliving will continue to work in Calgary.
