Why does it have to be another rookie GM hire? Also not all rookie GMs have been awful. Yzerman, Sakic, Sweeney, Kekalainen, Nill, Macllenan etc have all done well.

Jim Rutherford and Dean Lomdardi are couple names that come to mind as experienced GMs.
Jim Rutherford is pushing 70 years old.

It would likely be Pascal, Conroy or maybe someone like Gillis who seems desperate to get back into the league.

What has Kekalainen done to be considered that much better than Treliving? Jim Nill was on the firing block prior to the Stars surprise run last year. Sweeny took over a team that was one season removed from a SCF appearance.
