Conroy's patience has paid off very nicely, as well as holding the line with contract talks.
For as calculated as Brad came across, he was also a bit impulsive and was enamored with more than a few questionable players.

Brad did well here and turned a bad team into a good regular season team. But he never showed that ability to buy low on a guy. He always went after a guys when he had a good playoffs run, a break out season or was already in his prime about to be past his prime.
Conroy is taking on guys that other teams have given up on with assets. That is a sign of a great GM. Takes heat early on in trades, then time goes on and when you look back it doesn't makes sense how he got that return.
I still can not figure out what the Devils didn't like about Sharangovich? Guy is a stud in all 3 situations. He's 2nd in SHP in the NHL, he's capable of 1dt PP time too. How can you not fit this guy in?
