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.

Exactly. What's the scope of his job? As discussed on CP Radio (shameless plug) it seems like PRO scouting is more of a weakness recently than amateur scouting - leading to poor decision with free agents (primarily) and perhaps some trades. (e.g. Lazar).
So if Conroy has been more involved on that end (I don't know if he has or not) then the decision would strike me as odd.
