I’m prepared to judge based on results, not fantasy. My assumption is that the GM and the player are FAR better poised to decide what works…or doesn’t…for themselves. So far, the GM has done exactly what he said he would, to the extent possible. It won’t please Team Tank, but that’s not his stated intention either.

Prepare for more whinging! It could be a long summer.
Go read the trade deadline thread. There were plenty of reasons stated. Now one of the reasons is coming to fruition see Royale post. On top of that this reason isn't revisionist as we saw it play out the year prior with Hanafin, and before that with Jarome (although if anyone earned the right to choose his spot it was him).

Two playoff runs on an inexpensive contract is much greater than 1. Overall happy with Conroy but holding Andersson was a mistake.

Conroy has been a elite drafter (which is the most important trait right now.)
He as been an average to below average trader
He has been a good ufa signer (which means basically stay out of that market)

Overall happy with him, but holding onto Andersson out of some sort of loyalty to the veterans was a mistake. His loyalty should be to Wolf, Parekh, Coronato and Zary.
