I am completely paraphrasing here, but I somehow seem to remember him saying something very close to that on one of his interviews somewhere.
I also can't remember the exact wording, but what I took from it is that there will be 1-2 PTOs as insurance. Conroy also mentioned that he could always make a trade/sign players if the prospects fumble the opportunity.

I'm pretty sure it was the Robb Kerr interview on Just A Game.
