I thought he was the assistant GM of the Redwings, and I thought he has only been as assistant GM for 11 months or so.

Gross but I like what the Stars have done.

Yeah, Horcoff is the AGM in Detroit, not Dallas.

I'm also not sure why you would want to skip over Conroy because he doesn't have enough experience to bring in a guy with even less.

I think it's safe to say that when they announce their official hire, we can accept that Maloney left no stone unturned, no ideas unheard.

Still think it's Conroy until proven otherwise.

And some people on here were whining that no one would want the Calgary job.

40 people applying means nothnig.

It's the quality of the applicants that means something.

On the one hand it was "25-40" which seems like a weird range to report.

On the other it was "have talked to" so these are applicants who at least merited a call-back.

The NHL and NHLPA are partners.

NHL franchises makes sufficient revenue to build their own buildings should the owners and players decide to use cash flow to build the buildings.

Instead, the players and owners collude to take money from the taxpayers instead.

Something is to be announced re the GM, potentially Friday, more likely next Tuesday.

Its Conory isn't it?

[Toonage]

Assuming he's still over at the WHC it would be weird to announce Conroy as the GM until he gets back

Forgot he was at the tournament.

Let the guessing begin would likely be leaked prior to the announcement.

Is Conroy actually on the USA Management team?


They announced it at the end of March: https://teamusa.usahockey.com/news_a...-national-team

He's not listed on their team list: https://teamusa.usahockey.com/2023mwcroster#

I don't see Ryan Martin's name on there either. Could be that they just left the assistant GMs off the list

Think Iginla mentioned that Conroy was gonna be at the Worlds after doing the U-18s

They're not assistant GMs, they were assistants to the GM.

I look forward to people on here flipping the F out because of who the Flames hire (no matter who it is) even though they don't have a clue what they are talking about.

Do you have an inside source telling you this or you guessing?

We know we want progressive. We don’t know exactly what that means, or what that looks like. But it’s what we want.

Progressive last time was beach ball soccer and music during practice.
