A personalized interview where the GM discusses his desires for team direction and philosophy, then the coach gives his perspective.
The GM can then can feel out if the coach is as advertised, or if maybe he's changed since his last gig, or has a desire to try some new things. Coaches can and do grow and evolve just like players.
Maybe the coach really appreciates the direction and ideas of the GM during discussion and they start collaborating on ideas and the GM decides this coach is actually who he wants after a feeling out process and time in the same room.
I mean it feels silly even typing this stuff out. It's an interview at the highest level of hockey, of course there's value, of course there's potential to learn more than you know from just being around hockey and hearing things. C'mon Pepsi, you're smarter than this.
