So many teams don't seem willing to look at anyone for the GM job unless he's a former NHL player himself. There are good managers in that pool, but not enough for 32 teams. Many of the great GMs never played in the NHL: Pollock, Torrey, Selke, Devellano, Fletcher… A lot of those guys started out as scouts or minor-league coach/managers.
