This may have been lost in the Trade thread with all the Eichel talk.
Conroy interview on the FAN 960. You can listen for yourself and judge what he said. I've got a few bullet points, but sounds to me that he/management disagreed with how Sutter managed prospects during training camp
I have no problem with what Darryl did. He was brought in to win now, not develop prospects.

Semi-verbatim of the key points, and anyone can judge for themselves:
"I would have liked young guys play with veteran guys"
"...with some teams you see a young guy with two stars to see how he does. With our team, we didn't even scrimmage to see [prospects] mixed in"
"Darryl wanted to start practicing as a team, we have a lot of turnover, [Darryl] want to work on things right from the beginning ... I understand why he wants to do it, but the management side, you always want to see the young guys get a chance with the big group"
"If we would put Ruzicka with Johnny and Tkachuk, or you always want to see him with NHL players so you can get a gauge."
Darryl was all business. He wanted to play a certain way, and certain guys and certain lines, so did we give prospects a ton of PP time or PK time? We didn't even see the young kids or even the AHL guys who were pushing. You would have like to see them in a few better positions"
"I understand, Darryl wanted to get ready for the regular season, and that was his main focus"
