Bill Meltzer: General Manager Candidates: Who is on the 'Short List'?

Flyers beats are reporting asst. coach Gord Murphy not on the ice.
Also Elliott, Stolarz, Neuvirth all on the ice, not Pickard though.
Also, no JVR. Who knows what that means.

Pickard on waivers

Disappointed that not a single HB poster is on that list, Bill.

;-)

In order of who I think would be best fits

Hunter
Zito
Francis
Fletcher

I was called, but I turned them down. I wanted to relocate the team to Seattle, they were not happy with that.

yeah Murphy was let go

Bill, out of all the names you described do you have a favorite that you’d prefer as our next GM?

What if JVR is traded back to the leafs in a package for Nylander hahaha

No but seriously if JvR is traded I'm gonna be absolutely pissed

yeah Murphy was let go

Link or source or didn't happen.

MJL is quietly negotiating for the position.

Why? Maybe it's for something the team could use more? Don't jump gun.

Great info Bill. Switching to coaching, some seem to think that Quenneville would be “crazy to come anywhere near this mess” and would likely stay far away. Do you agree with this? To me, a chance to coach a prospect laden team of a historically good organization - that is also typically committed to winning - would be attractive opportunity. It’s not like the Hawks were the late-70s Canadians when he took over.

MJL is NOT a GM....now negotiating for coach, that's another story.

Holmgren is in charge right now. So maybe JVR to the Blues for J-Bouw

Thanks Bill! This is exactly what I want to read more of today.

Edit: WTF...tweets saying "I THINK...". I don't care what you think, tell me the actual reason.

Welp, it's not like Hakstol hired him. Or any of the other assistants, fwiw.

Both appear to be just speculation at this point. Not saying they ultimately won't be shown to be correct, but there isn't verification yet.
