Both McKenzie and Friedman reported yesterday that Fenton withdrew his name from consideration.

I think I might apply. I wouldn’t mind being a lame duck GM.

400k a year to sit around a table and be at your bosses beck and call? Yeah man. Id be down too.

Jay Feaster there is an opening with your name on it

So, Kevin Lowe for GM?

[Flash Walken]

Would not surprise me at all to see Feaster end up there. Perfect spot for him.

Do you think AHL gms are making $400k a year?

Seems like they wouldn't be....

I wonder if this is a leak by GMs to protect their salaries?

If someone takes the job for that little will other GMs Black ball him to ensure failure?

I never thought Feaster would come close to another NHL GM job, but this spot could be a good fit for him.

Ditto. Sending my resume. They might balk at my shocking lack of hockey experience but I made a special note to pay attention to the fact that while I was not an Oiler in the 80s I was alive and in Alberta in the 80s and that should be close enough to know a thing or two about winning.

That being said, Lame Duck GM would be an awesome job.

I've always wanted to be the never-played backup goaltender on a championship team, but Lame Duck GM is waaaaaay better. You dont have to put equipment on and you get an office and when your team wins you still get a bonus and a ring.

How could you go wrong?
