I'd say no for a GM role, but his record with the Flames shows he does have success being involved in the management of a hockey team.
It makes no sense to attribute all the negatives during his tenure in Calgary to him and assigning all positives to the people around him. He's done some good and he's done some bad like any GM.
The O'Reilly offer really sticks out as what would have been a huge blunder, but he's had a few steals, like Russell, who's been a huge part of this team's success.
Keep him in the background though and I think he would compliment a team nicely.
