Most rookie GMs make mistakes.
I can't grasp a strategy to fire the current GM, and hand the keys to a rookie GM that was part of his leadership team.

It certainly seems Oilerish to give the seat to an (A) ex-team fixture who’s (B) been around during the term that got the present GM fired.
I’m not sold on Conroy as GM aside from that anyway. I just haven’t heard much out of him to suggest he’s either a good talent evaluator, or a good negotiator with players, agents and other GMs.
