Sorry just don't get it.
What has Conroy shown that makes you think he will be a better GM than BT?

Honestly at this point, I just feel like he wouldn't have any concerns with just going in and shaking it all up. I feel like he'd have a better handle on what kind of coach these guys need, and I think he'd also understand better that you shouldn't force players to go against their strengths just to match the kind of coach you want.
Essentially Conroy doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that would build a skilled roster and then give them a dump and chase coach. Or a roster of grinders and give them a possession and transition coach.
That's the thing that peeves me the most right now. It's also what drives me bonkers when people suggest bringing back Sutter. We need someone that can coach the kind of systems that play to this roster's strengths.
Edit: Don't get me wrong, there's also a bit of "watch the world burn" in it for me too. Like even just watching him blow it all up would at least be more fun than watching Ward Hockey.
