fine. He was good in Dallas.
What did he do after that?

I like how someone can be called good at something, when they had ONE successful run and won ONE championship or got a high honor or achievement.

Winter Olympics.
Also you are niave to believe Gretzky wasn't more than a coach to the Yotes.
- stormeyAlterEgo

So because Gretzky was a terrible manager, it means every former player is a terrible manager too?

Poor Yzerman... he's toast!

how so what?
- Pecafan Fan

How does he know the CBA inside and out?

Not sure it's even possible that he's as dumb, though.
- Pecafan Fan

Houle was inexperienced, Gauthier was dumb.

I would think if Pierre McGuire got the GMs job, the verbal sparring between the two of them could be epic.

I changed my mind about Savard, I agree with you.

No...I didn't say that. You gave the fact that he was a former players as a positive in he becoming a GM. That's not necessarily true.

Keep twisting.

He's just there to help Molson. I don't see him being involved in day to day hockey operations. He's not there to be a "Bob Gainey".

When Gainey stepped down as GM the Habs were in better shape than the day he became GM. He's at fault for this mess to a point, but I think this is mostly on Gauthier.

Ron MacLean GM and Don Cherry coach of Les Habitants.

Gainey was still there. Left yesterday too....

Not with the current CBA.

I could see PM get totally shut out of all communications with the GM's due to all the "private talks" he has had over the years as an analyst.
