Now I would say promoting both BT and Conroy would be a very strange idea. That’s something you do when you’ve achieved an abundance of success.

For me if you have to hire someone over the top, because you have questions about your GM, then you don't have the right GM.
Unless you are re-defining the role, as it relates to president of hockey ops, or something like that. Which some teams have done.
But it comes down to BT being the guy making the hockey decisions. If you can't give him that - he's not the right guy and he's probably not going to accept less autonomy.
