#What they are asking about:
>Roster building: How the front office has managed its roster, looking in general terms at the players on the roster and whether they formulate the right building blocks for the team’s goal of contending, whether that’s in the present or future.
>Cap management: How the front office has managed the team’s finances, with regard to the efficiency of money spent (are there a lot of bad contracts on the books?), cap space, future flexibility and general dollar worth. Bottom line: If a team is or isn’t spending money, are they doing so wisely?
>Drafting and developing: How the front office has managed its farm, from draft day to the big leagues, relative to its draft pick capital. Is the team making smart selections and are those players meeting their potential after the draft? In other words: Is the team doing a good job graduating players from the minors to the majors?
>Trading: How the front office has managed the trade block. Mainly, whether management made the right calls in trading assets and whether they’re generally on the right or wrong side of a deal.
>Free agency: How the front office has managed a period generally synonymous with mistakes and how it has navigated the minefield of free agency. Does the team generally give out reasonable deals, or is it prone to overpaying and overcommitting to players it shouldn’t?
>Vision: How the front office communicates its plan, both implicitly and explicitly. Vision is mostly an abstract concept, one that boils down to whether a team’s plan to build a Stanley Cup contender is evident in its decision-making process and whether its plans for the future appear sound.
I really hope our front office comes out good here. Right now I’m more confident about our management team then I have been in years.
A lot of these are tough for Conroy since he has only been in the job for 1 years and hasn’t really had to do a lot of the below things. For example Roster Building.
Conroy took over a roster that was pretty much going to be a carbon copy of the roster the prior year. Now this year he isn’t really Building a Roster to be competitive so it’s hard to evaluate how good of a roster builder he is.
Same could be said for Cap management and Free agency.
Overall the only strong opinion I had on any of these categories was Vision. To which I added an additional comment of
“Conroy has established a clear long term plan for the future and for winning and as a result it is the best I have felt about the future of this team in at least 5 years, potentially ever.”
I have more belief in our front office than I have for most of my life. I’m in my mid 30s.
IN CONNY WE TRUST
