1- No way Lemieux would take the GM duties for Team Canada. He is not public/press savy like Gretz who has the perfect public persona for the job. Lemieux has never been comfortable being in the press spotlight and he would not last the scrutiny of picking the players. He has never had the passion for TC that Gretz has had in his blood- just is not there and you have to have someone in that job who really has the passion to carry on that job and deal with the press and publicity. I really don't know what Lemieux will end up doing or not doing in hockey- I just don't see this as an option- maybe as a consultant or scout but not front and center.
2- I really feel Gretz would be happy as the head coach for the 2010 games- he likes being near the ice and the players and a few more seasons of NHL coaching will get him more accustomed to coaching and I frankly feel he would be a great motivator in the locker room before games in the pressured tournament like the Olympics and as a result he would not have to be the full time GM and let someone else do the primary picking of players and take that burden from him.
3- I never thought of John Davidson as the GM but he might actually work in that role- of course we have no idea if he would actually WANT the job but he might actually consider it.
