What I lack in hockey experience first hand, I make for by being one of the only people on this earth capable of an original thought, having been to college, and being an expert in critical thinking.

Being an NHL GM is as simple as a) being born into an NHL family b) playing in the NHL c) being a player agent (which first requires being a lawyer) c) starting your own stats company.

I hope the Coyotes continue sucking

8 out of 30 aren't.

And yes it makes sense to have previous "hockey" experience to manage a "hockey" club.

You have it wrong for Shero. It's hockey family not college hockey.

He is the son of former Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers coach Fred Shero.

- Fredo

He's always bringing out Bossy's stats, putting down todays players. You can't do that. It was a different era.

I mean no disrespect, but goalies back then were wearing pillows as pads on their legs and had zero technique. Heck, even Mario Tremblay managed a 33 goals, 70+ points season.
