Conroy seemed adamant to give guys on the farm a chance before going out and filling holes with vets. Seems like a philosophical change and hope they are sincere about this approach. I don’t mind rewarding former players with positions in the organization as this group seems to understand the right path forward and are high quality individuals.

Yes agreed- and not to mention the obvious that Conroy, Iggy and Tanguay have all played much more recently then the old boys in Edmonton
