- Craig has a reputation for blabbering, and that's great but I also see the blabbering going down the line of being a guy who needs to be liked so he'll tell you things from an honesty perspective. You don't see that much for people in his position. I want to see a little kept close to his chest because the more he talks the more other GMs can pick up on "tells" he may give away
- I thought he was involved in the past in negotiating contracts? When Maloney said that it was a little surprising
Craig doesn't seem to be a guy who will play hardball or will win many trades because of his need to people please. Doesn't mean he'll lose every trade either. I just get that impression right now. I'm completely rooting for him because I like human beings like him and want to see people like that succeed - I'm just not used to seeing that in those high positions. It's refreshing yet a little concerning from a nervousness standpoint. |
Would you rather hear process a million times? Maybe, like you, other GMs will underestimate Conroy. Also being a perfectionist might be counterproductive in this type of a job. Sometimes you have to pivot to other moves.
