The NHL has more former players in managerial roles than other pro sports.

I loved Verbeek as a kid. And those Whaler jerseys they got in 94? Drool

Now that was a group of lovable losers if there ever was one

The NHL was a better place with the Whalers in it.

Let's go Whalers!

Yeah, one of my favourite non-Flame players back in the day. The guy was fierce and could produce.

Wasn't is rumoured that the Flames turned down a Gilmour-Verbeek deal in favour of the Leeman offer, or am I thinking of a different trade rumour? I distinctly remember hearing that Verbeek could have been a Flame at one point though.
