It is early innings of the Conroy era but it does seem like the pro scouting has improved, or that the GM is listening more to his pro scouts. Could be either, or both. But it seems like there was a weakness during the BT era when it came to signing and acquiring other NHLers. The amateur scouting seemed to be solid based on draft record, but was the pro scouting just weaker, not as well staffed, or did BT defer more to his amateur scouting than he did to his pro scouting?
