It's the NHL, and there are only 30 top-management positions of this nature in the entire world. Nill is widely regarded as a quality administrator, and is certain to land the GM title at some point in the next four years. The thing is, though, as "unattractive" as the Flames are presently, it is still an opportunity that one would be foolish to pass up, if he truly has aspirations of being an NHL general manager. History shows that would-be GMs most often take the job that is available to them. Yzerman is a great case in point: TB was easily one of the LEAST attractive places to be for an NHL executive at the time, and that was the job he took, because that was the job available.
