Conroy - Rookie GM, some AGM experience
Nonis - Traded for Luongo in Vancouver, got the Leafs into the playoffs in 2013?
Pascall - Lots of Hockey Canada success, nothing in the NHL
Hanlon - Lots of communications success, nothing in hockey ops
Iginla - No track record
Is this really the best mix of experience that understands how to build a winner and/or a winning culture?

The only two i trust to get this right are the 2 with almost no track record, Conroy and Iggy.
Sometimes a lot of experience isn't necessarily good experience. And sometimes people can get stuck in old ways of thinking where I think Conroy gives a fresh view point. And for someone who talks to fans as much as he does, he knows what the fans want more than the dinosaurs in the group.
