The guy was one of the greatest players ever (though I like Bobby Orr way better). But his turn as a coach was incredibly poor and I doubt he makes a great GM.
Give him a job promoting the game and its a great idea. But leave the hockey related jobs to the professionals.

I think this bit is overblown. I honestly dont think he wanted to coach the Phoenix Coyotes but when he has sunk a ton of his own cash into the team and they were hot garbage he was watching his investment turn to dust and just took matters into his own hands.
What he shouldnt have done was financially hamstring the team with a $4M coaching salary when the team was borderline insolvent.
