One possible explanation is that he’s low risk, which is exactly the guy you want to run a stable business.
Whether that low risk comes attached to low reward in terms of on-ice product is a matter of debate, but also not really relevant as long as the team consistently turns a profit. He’s the buttered toast of GMs.
