After the October 31st trade deadline, the conservator GM’s attention will turn almost entirely to one thing: Helping to find his own replacement. Hired on a short term stint, his responsibility will be scouring the league of top managerial talent, and pulling together a short list of individuals for Josh Harris and company to consider as the season comes to a close.
The conservator will also play a key role in ultimately interviewing the GM candidates, and in helping to brief the new GM once he comes on board, so he can start the job with his eyes wide open.
