If we require hockey qualifications to discuss what goes on in hockey, let's close this down and it can just be timbit's blog, unless there is someone else I am missing... |
GMs are an odd mix considering they hold identical executive positions. From just a correspondence-type HS diploma to Yale and Harvard grads. Brisbois has a JD and an MBA. In fact both GMs in the Florida series are lawyers. Lou L was a high school math teacher (maybe he knows game theory or something).
