Craig Conroy has to the nicest guy we've ever had play in Calgary. He's just a gem of a human being. I remember him calling into Overtime with Rob Kerr after the playoff games in 2004. He was as excited as anyone, and unlike most players, chose to stay in Calgary with his family after his playing career was over. How can you not love him?
I just don't think taking this job was smart. He's going to be the fall guy for the terrible team we have. He isn't a magician, and the best GM ever wouldn't be able to get us out of such a terrible situation cap-wise. There is NO path to success. Craig Conroy is going to go from being the friendly guy who takes pictures with people when he's at his kid's soccer games to getting abuse from a fanbase that is going to be frustrated with what looks like another eight years of misery.
