Craig Conroy is set to be named the next general manager of the Calgary Flames, according to a report by TSN's Darren Dreger.

According to TSN's Salim Valji, the club will officially announced the hiring on Tuesday, and the list of candidates for the vacancy counted over 40 names.

Conroy first joined the Flames front office in 2010, and served as the team's assistant general manager for the past nine years.

The 51-year-old's first task will likely be finding a new head coach, after Darryl Sutter was fired in early May.

The Flames parted ways with former general manager Brad Treliving in April after nine years at the helm and with his contract set to expire on June 30.

Valji reached out to Treliving for a comment about the promotion of his former assistant, and he had nothing but praise for the incumbent general manager in Calgary.

"I am very excited for Craig and his family for this opportunity he has earned," Treliving wrote in a statement. "We were together for nine years and during that time, he had exposure to all aspects of the business. Part of the job of a manager is mentoring, preparing and advancing those within your organization and I am confident that Craig is more than ready for this challenge."

Conroy played 1,009 games in his 18-year NHL career, including two stints with Calgary. He recorded 182 goals, 542 points and 603 penalty minutes.
