That's almost surely what happened when Chiarelli got hired by the Bruins. Technically he couldn't join the team until mid July, but it was implied later that in his final interviews with Boston he laid out a very specific plan of what they should do between then (mid May) and when he took over as GM (mid July). I imagine if Benning is hired that he and Linden will have similar conversations.
