Craig Conroy will be named the Calgary Flames' new general manager, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
Conroy has been a part of the Flames' front office since 2010 and has held the assistant general manager title for nine years. He also spent parts of nine seasons as a player in Calgary.
Brad Treliving mutually parted ways with the Flames in April after nine years as the team's general manager. His contract expires on June 30.
Among Conroy's first tasks will be hiring a head coach. Recently promoted president of hockey operations Don Maloney fired Darryl Sutter earlier in May.
Veteran executive Dave Nonis will join Conroy in Calgary's front office in a senior management role, reports Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli. Nonis, who was a candidate for the GM job, reportedly impressed during the interview process.
Flames legend Jarome Iginla - Conroy's former linemate - is expected to join the team in an advisory or consultant role, Seravalli adds.
Nonis owns over six years of experience as an NHL general manager, spending four years with the Vancouver Canucks from 2004-08 and two with the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2013-15. He's spent the past three campaigns as assistant GM of the Anaheim Ducks.
The Flames are expected to announce Conroy's promotion Tuesday, according to TSN's Salim Valji.
