What is Conroy supposed to say? "This group is no good"? Who was he supposed to hire instead, with no money available thanks to another ill advised Treliving extension to Sutter.
Treliving absolutely mucked this team up with the handling of Tkachuk and Gaudreau and subsequent trade for Huberdeau and signing of Kadri. If you're suggesting Conroy should be blamed for that, it is pretty weak.
There is quite literally no way out of this mess that will result in an immediate turn-around in terms of tanking or winning and really, the franchise deserves what it gets for fighting the current again. These contracts are essentially buyout proof, and players like Hanifin, Lindholm are diminshing assets given the way the season is playing out.
