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.

That's pretty easy with 20/20 hindsight.
There was no burning market for Ras last year at TDL....otherwise he may well have been moved. Conroy hasn't proven himself to be stupid yet. If there had been a decent (enough) offer, it seems rather likely that he would have taken it.
