I agree on the Conroy comments ... hope it's out of context, but taken as is, that's a terrible way to use talent in the management ranks.
In on everything doesn't mean no plan though.
It's due diligence.
If a GM is moving a player you get in there and see what it would take. If it's discounted you add value by acquiring him. Even if you don't make the move you've improved your knowledge of what the market is for similar moves you want to make. Additionally, maybe you up the value a bit for a competitor
