Previously, such decisions were made collectively by the 30 general managers. It was a process that often led to stalemates and politics and very little getting done. Players have long wanted a voice in the debate.

Here's hoping they're GMs that promote an exciting, up-tempo style of play. Burke? Holland? Lacroix? Feaster? Ferguson?nikeisevil said:So who would the GM's be?
Lou, Burke, who else? Lowe? Gainey?

Don't let Beauty hear you say that.Phil Parent said:That's called a bone. Remember that bone that the league needed to throw to the union. That's it.
I'm overly optimist! I bet they sign on the dotted line today.
No, it's not. In fact, the truth is this is the best the NHL has looked in many many years. There'll be some pains in getting back into gear and winning some of the disgruntled fans back but once things are in motion this is looking to be the best shape the league has ever been in. This is just one small piece of that.
Don't let your blind fanatical loyalty to the NHLPA blind you to the *real* truth.
