Why? Because GM's around the league will know they can't "outwit" him? Know-it-all's aren't usually the popular guy in the group. Maybe he's matured but given he hasn't worked in the league for almost 20 years it appears he hasn't been able to shake his reputation.
He probably is very smart and maybe he could do a good job. It's a pretty big risk though given Crosby and Malkin in their primes. I think I would opt for someone that's maybe less questionable as another 3-4 wasted years and their window may be closed.
