The dude is 25 and has 2 bachelor's degrees and 1 master's degree all in subjects that sound pretty intense. I am guessing some credits transferred over, but that is a lot of accomplishment for such a young person. And he has work for the Rangers for the past 4 years.

Smart people like this can help a GM identify positive (or negative) patterns in players that other might miss using conventional methods (like how attractive his skating style is).

A Bachelor of Mathematics in Statistics at University of Waterloo and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance at Wilfrid Laurier - at the same time, there might not have been much credit transfer at all. Amazing actually.

He doesn't seem like a prick, and we all know that the surest obstacle to success is through hiring nice people.

It would've been cheaper for the Flames to sign up for ChatGPT

Not to downplay his accomplishment, but there is a partnership between Laurier and Waterloo that allow for this. One of my friends in University, his brother went through a similar program between these 2 universities.
