Took a long time to catch up!
I've said a few times the best chance at finding a Bill Torrey / Al Arbour combination is likely promoting from within if you think they're qualified and the right choice.
The next up and coming guy is in demand and will be picked by the best vacant team.
I like Conroy the person, can't speak to what he can or can't do but I'm encouraged by what some are saying, and I like that Maloney has been with him for 7 years.
Old boys club ... I cringe at first. But then I'm on the side of the argument that Calgary isn't and won't be a destination. Maybe qualified ex Flames with heart strings bringing them back is a small way to attempt and level the playing field.
Either way I like the Ted Lasso feel to it, and I'm hopeful.
