Has putting your ex-stars in management positions worked out for anybody yet?

Worked out pretty well for Colorado if you just look at 13-14 and ignore everything that happened after it.

In the end, Eichel posted 24 goals and 57 points in 61 games, which gave him 0.934 points-per-game. Draisaitl finished with 0.939 points-per-game and placed 10th in that category.

he has the Canucks to thank for that

any chance he streamed his reaction live? lulz

Lol Rob Blake. Can we get that Hextall back please.

Pretty nice for Lombardi though to swing this into a new job. Gets out of the sinking ship well in advance.

OK, Mike Futa is assistant GM, I can relax a little. Hopefully he's behind Blake's ear on every decision.

Kinda shocked he agreed to stay. Teams have asked about him with respect to GM positions.

did not really expect Hitch back to Dallas, but i guess there aren't that many jobs out there

sounding like Gallant to Vegas

Canucks will probably just cheap out and promote their AHL coach Travis Green
(plus what legitimate candidate would bother with this clown show? Sutter in would be fairly hilarious tho)

Lindy Ruff running out of chairs, might be forced into retirement, unless maybe he wants to take an assistant job

what are the Kings doing with their vacancy?
