Personally, I like what Conroy has done as a whole, and I really liked the last couple of trades of Markstrom and Andersson. So it's a wait and see for me, but if the Flames only get a 2nd for Kadri then I would be a bit disappointed.
And Conroy (and every GM) will get things wrong.

He will set a price too high.
He will set a price too low.
He'll be patient when he should have pounced.
He'll pounce when he should have been patient.

But I personally believe he and his group have a plan and they stick to it. Hopefully they are right 60% of the time which I think would be elite.

Having an opinion that they should have done something sooner is fine.

Saying
"it sounds like we waited too long"
"Can't see us making a lot of trades now"
"Classic"

gets old.
