The Search for the New GM Thread

Is there any urgency to picking a new GM?
I assume the draft stuff is already baked.

So free agency and contract extensions would be the priority. Anything missing?

There may be some urgency to getting someone on board to have the core players get a better understanding of the direction of the team

After this last week, they don't need more drama going into the season from the pending UFA Matthews talk.

The draft's the 28th and 29th and then RFA qualifying opens up the 30th and then we can sign Matthews July 1 and free agency. I dunno, there's definitely lots to do so sooner the better.
 
if Shanny did indeed reach out to Butthead then no doubt he is rummaging through the recycling bin
 
9 years ago Shanahan went so far outta the box he hired some OHL GM who went to Brock then made him GM over Lou and Hunter four years later. I guess there’s a small part of me that thinks… would it really be as inside the box as Treliving?

but perhaps that’s just hopefulness.

That's it though, he surrounded the wunderkid with experienced GMs.

He may have a short-list of up-and-coming hockey execs, but he wants to find his "Lou" first IMO.
 
He only said experience would be an asset. Maybe a guy like Trevling is a favourite heading into interviews, but the favourite often changes during the interview process. People come off differently in person then on paper, and people with no experience can still potentially sell themselves way better than the most experienced candidate.

Thats why I am curious to see the interview list. Is it just Shero, Trevling, Boteril etc. Or do they give chances to people like Tulsky, Pridham etc. Because if its the latter all bets are off.
 
Treliving is still fairly young for a gm.
