Just asking for a different angle on the conversation.
Meghan Chayka is a name that has been mentioned for other GM positions

Quote:
Chayka co-founded Stathletes, a hockey analytics company, in 2010. Stathletes has emerged as one of the leaders in the field, providing data to many NHL teams.
"I don’t want to be the GM,” Chayka told The Hockey News in 2019. “I want to own the team. I want to be my boss. I want to build a billion-dollar company and own the team.”

Regardless, Chayka is as good a candidate as there is to become the first woman GM in the NHL.

THN wrote this year: “With NHL teams and World tournaments using Chayka’s technology, and the ever evolving world of sports pushing for new ideas, it’s only a matter of time before an NHL club considers Chayka.”
