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.

Except that Nill gets paid at a GM rate for an organization that he loves and in the city his kids go to school.
