Good hire, the right age, great background and experience, been around the best organizations from Hockey Canada, University of Michigan and the Penguins.
Jim Rutherford was just on radio with Peters and Rivet, was effusive about the guy, said he knows players, at every level, same for coaches. From running WSB he will be very familiar with Bailey, Baptiste, Ullmark, Rodrigues etc - maybe he likes some of them and others he has a lesser opinion of. It helps since some of them may be used in trades and you'd like the GM to have a handle on them before dealing them.
We have no idea what he thinks of our NHL roster players, it would be nice to know.
Now get me Sheldon Keefe and Cale Makar and bring on October.
