Conroy's been in the league. Heck, he WAS that guy who performed totally differently in a different role (St. Louis #3C vs Calgary #1C). He's a few months removed from TRADING a guy away who performed totally differently in a different role (after coach after coach - including Sutter's brief stint - refused to try it). He's obviously aware of successful organizations who do things the way he described, as someone whose job it is to watch virtually every game everywhere.
Honestly, the fact that there is (yet again) a disconnect on player evaluation between management and coaching philosophies is baffling.

Meh, I’m just not impressed by Conroy. What’s he done in the front office? And he seems to undermine not only Sutter, but Treliving, in his public comments. I suspect Conroy has hit his post playing career ceiling.
As for carte blanche - that’s what a coach, especially one just hired, gets as far as the on lineup goes.
