Conroy to be named GM
Busy week ahead for a couple of Canadian teams. Craig Conroy will be named the GM of the Calgary Flames, while the Maple Leafs begin their GM process in earnest. Expect other additions in Calgary as well.

Oh shit
Excited because this was the best of the known options by far but also felt they could have done better at the same time
I like it. Hope he learned a lot from GMBT.
CONNNIE!!! š„š„š„
Thank god it wasn’t any of the candidates that helped hide sexual assault. I was legit worried for a moment.
Wooooo, Conroy! Let’s gooooo š„
I feel like we dodged a bullet š
NO BERGEVIN OR BOWMAN LETS GOOOOOO
Probably the best hire; familiar with the organization, loves the city, years as a student to a decent GM, and a former player. All we need now is Mitch Love
Thank fuck, that list scared the hell out of me
Pretty decent choiceā¦ Conroy will need to prove himself still but he is a pretty safe choice, fans love him and heās been with the organization forever so he already knows the ins and outsā¦ as long as heās not just a yes man for ownership, conroy was our best option next to getting Dubas
Now bring Iginla back into the fold!
I bet one year of missed playoffs and the comments look something like this
āWe should have hired a gm with experienceā
āGreat this is why we donāt hire playersā
āBring back Bradā
But according to a handful of people Calgary is a terrible organization because serivelli said Nonis bowman and bergevin were the front runners. Almost like he spitballs all the time, is incorrect alot, and seems to be very anti flames
I like it. Now name Mitch Love head coach and letās build this thing
THANK YOU!
Alright, now get to work!
Coaching job is Gelinasā if he wants it
Nice. Deserved as far as Iām concerned.
Letās get this ship back on track š„
GMCC š„
Thank fuck.
Best move the flames could of done. He knows the organization the players the owners. Iām all for giving him a chance in the big job.
Mitch Love head coach and Iggy as an assistant please.
Holy fuck I was worried. Hiring bowman seemed like such a flamesy thing to do. What a relief.
Someone who understands Calgary and the Flames. Not a bad fit at all.
Thank god
Was the best rumoured candidate ainec. The other guys were jokes.
Iāll give Connie a shot. It could be worse.
Now hire Love!
Fuck yes this is exactly why I checked the sub just now!
Cool. He’s definitely earned the chance to show what he can do. Looks like all the other candidates really were there just to make him look better by default lol
And hopefully he’s learned from the mistakes of Treliving and the others GM’s before him, and understands the necessity of locking down elite talent for as long as possible when you have the chance.
I donāt understand why our fanbase values Treliving so much. We win 2 rounds in his tenure, he didnāt stock the org with depth for long term success and he let our two best players walk through his mismanagement.
GMCC!
