Luckily for Conroy there are 31 other individuals who need to work to make their teams as good as they can be. It is not like Conroy is dealing with a singular party that has all the leverage. Conroy is doing his best to ensure others know he has leverage in this situation. Will all other GM’s collude so Treliving can fleece Calgary when other teams are competing with the Leafs? Conroy is certainly being tested and it does not appear he is in a spot where his hand is being forced
