The great thing about this, as an employee, is that Conroy would be an open book, no hidden agendas even if he wanted to.
This is not meant as condescension about his negotiating ability either.. Being nice and being open doesn't necessarily mean being weak.
A lot of people have come out about Conroys competitive streak, thats a good sign. He wants to win no matter what. I think he will be able to make the hockey choices when he has to.Conroy is a professional athlete by nature; he will be tough when he needs to be. Or so I hope so, lol, there’s that doubt creeping in. What he does with the 7 UFAs will say a lot.
Why is this a thing? Are we expecting them to be saviours or something?hoping that Jarome Iginla will join the Flames fulltime next season (2024-2025) As an assistant GM or assistant coach. Then use his influence to get Kipper to be the goalie coach for the team.
Yeah just assume these guys have great team management acumen because of nostalgia, haven't lived in Calgary, or pursued NHL jobs since they retired long ago, but we really need them.Why is this a thing? Are we expecting them to be saviours or something?

Kipper as goalie coach? Maybe he communicates telepathically? From a canoe in Finland?
Kipper could tell Wolf what was told of him and how he maintained his success in the NHL. Kipper is a high athleticism goalie who could explain to Wolf how to balance being assertive and aggressive vs sticking to fundamentals. But who knows if he'd be able to teach that to any goalie.
Kipper is super weird though. Apparently he drank and smoked a lot and basically held up a workload that is considered ridiculous to most goalies in this day and age. The entire package he had was just crazy. If he could impart just one section of his key to durability, positioning fundamentals vs reactionary saves, Wolf will be really good. Impart more than one of those and Wolf would be awesome and easily entering into Saros range of excellent.
Not apparently. He did. and he drank a pot of black coffee between periods. And he doesn't speak. And he lives with a wolf in a remote shack.Kipper is super weird though. Apparently he drank and smoked a lot a
imagine thinking kipper's jersey gets retiresKipper is not coming to coach. He might come to watch a game.
Once.
In Wolf's entire career.
