And what a 'full' resume it is.
1. Born the son of a billionaire.
2. Dick around through his 20s trying to make the NHL and never being more than a bad ECHL defensemen.
3. Commissioner of a semi-pro hockey league that a bunch of his dad's rich friends agree to blow money forming teams in.
4. Run that into the ground in 5 years and help the few remaining not completely bankrupt teams join another failing semi-pro league that dies within a decade
5. Get a job as an assistant GM in the NHL with absolutely no qualifications other than the owner being another billionaire friend of his fathers.
6. Do that job for 10 years making the playoffs 3 times and getting out of the first round once.
7. Jump from there to GM of the Flames where he needs a more experienced guy above him, and his former boss below him to help guide him.
8. Profit.
