Well Don Maloney is 64 so I guess the Flames have their ideal candidate already!

Age seems less relevant than the fact that 3/4 guys are in their first go as NHL General Managers, with Waddell having the only previous experience (over a decade ago in Atlanta).

Hockey has the same mentality of the NBA it seems. Just recycle the same coaches/managers and repeat for 3 years or so. Like the NBA you just had the Raptors, Bucks, Suns and 76ers fire coaches and it wouldn't be surprising if all 4 teams just shuffled coaches lol seems like both leagues love guys with experience and only a handful take risks with the young 30 year old analytic guys

Maloney said he started getting texts and calls right away I bet Nonis had his text ready to go at 9am when news hit.

Jesus. Dark.

Would be an interesting experiment. The worst of the Oilers, Canucks and Leafs. Don’t stop there. Add Bergevin, Sexton and Dudley for the whole set.

I have no inside information, but I get a feeling that makes me think it's Conroy. I'm like 93% positive. The remaining 7% can be split among the other 39 candidates.
