Once you exceed those levels the deal must be signed off above Conroy (probably Maloney) or by the ultimate authority, who in this case is the ownership team. Everyone has limits and everyone has a boss to answer to, even the CEO or COTB. The GM will have guiderails in place to limit the potential damage they can do, especially a first year GM. It's why Maloney and Nonis have jobs with the Flames. It's why Bean is involved at all. I'll give you credit, I never thought we would actually see an honest to goodness appeal to "authority" defense invoked in an argument.

Conroy does not have to go to anyone to make deals, that has been confirmed by Steinberg who is more connected to the team than any of us.
