You have to remember that Conroy has been gaining experience for this role for more than a decade.
If I look at the Flames organization over that decade I’d argue it’s in a much better spot than it was prior to that. Now, that isn’t because of Conroy but Conroy has been here as part of that momentum. I think it’s exciting to see internal development, especially when it comes to a well respected individual like Conroy.
It’s such an odd position for fans to judge though. We don’t really have a read on what could be a good hire, but we do have history to review where we could make arguments why some people would be bad hires.
I believe Nonis and Bowman would be outright bad hires.
I think Bergevin would be a pretty “meh” hire.
Conroy? Unsure, but the potential for him to develop into one of the “next wave” of good General Managers is definitely an exciting thought.
