Good stuff. The concept of stability definitely appeals to me.

 

[Calculon]

About god damn time

Hopefully it was for four or more years

edit:
Odd they won't just say how long it's for

Edit2:

Interesting timing...

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Praise baby Jesus.

 

[Mobiandi]

Thank christ

 

[Janks]

Nice signing, but can he score Centre goals? If not, then I'm skeptical.

 

[WeegarUnderwood]

This is great news! I'm so happy Tre is back

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Treliving signed?

Conroy interviewed in Buffalo?

 

[Yung Rotini]

Good ol Penticton boy

 

[Volica]

Happy he resigned, I think everyone knew he was going to come back. Just happy they got it done.

Hoping Conny stays in town, such a likeable guy to be AGM. I hope if Conny leaves they bring Murray in from Buffalo

 

[Tofveve]

That's good ish.

 

[Ynnek]

Glad this is done.

 

[Zirakzigil]

About time this got done

 

[Dertell]

[Tkachuk Norris]

Sweet! Hopefully he's learned FA isn't his friend.

this is old news and not really interesting timing in the slightest

It's new news that he had the interview, it's old news that they gave permission to interview him.

well after permission was granted it was kind of a foregone conclusion, this is as much news as the sun rising this morning was news and has nothing to do with Treliving in the slightest

 

[Anglesmith]

I feel like we may be caring a little bit too much about Craig Conroy. We don't even know what he really does in his job. All we see is how good or bad he is at interviews.

Realistically, a good Assistant GM is a short-term arrangement. If you're good, you won't remain an assistant. If you remain an assistant, you probably aren't good enough.

I also think it's coincidental timing, for what it's worth. I mean, for one thing, the interview would have needed to have been arranged before yesterday. It's not like they'd call up Craig and ask him to come in later that same day. For another thing, I really think the delay on Treliving's signing was about term and dollar. I think it was a negotiation.

This was the first I've heard about him being interviewed. There were reports of Conroy being considered, but nothing was official.

IF Conroy gets the job, I wonder if Maloney might be made assistant here.

And this, realistically, would represent the moment Conroy went to pursue that position. Not the interview itself.

Yes. The tweet he posted is saying that Conroy HAS interviewed for that vacancy.

My point is once permission is granted to interview, the interview happening isn't exactly breaking news. Plus as I also said, it has nothing to do with Treliving and the timing of him signing.
