No big mistakes for Conroy so far. In fact, the largest contract he signed was $4.5M x 2 for Backlund. He also hasn't given anyone more than a 2-year term(ELCs aside), which makes sense with where we're at.

I think one thing folks understand in these here parts is teams need to surround their up-and-coming players in the AHL with the right kind of veterans in key roles to help progress them along their developmental paths.
