Serious question. With this type of comment, is it more important to you that Conroy maximize the value from these assets, or just get rid of them as quickly as possible so that we declare our direction as a team?

Just seems like a lot of folks are having pretty much 0 patience for our GM to figure out the right moves and make sure he sets the team up for success. Sometimes the environment dictates a little bit of the "how" someone executes a strategy. Declaring we need to wait until after Xmas, isn't necessary all driven by the GM wanting to see more for himself. It also might be dictated by the quality of the offers. I'm sure Conroy has a desired return (and a lowest acceptable offer) for these assets. Why wouldn't he wait until he gets his price? The team started slow, the assets we are moving didn't exactly help their value in the first few weeks, and it made the team look desperate. If the team keeps playing a little better - we look less desperate and the assets look better, the offers will likely get better.

Just not sure why people get so upset that our GM hasn't pulled the trigger on deals in what would seemingly be the part of the season where he'd get the worse return.
