Who is the current GM of the Soo?

Dean Lombardi

Dean Lombardi

Forgot about him will add him to the poll

 

[aight]

Voted Other.

Mike Gillis.

He has a plan that involves a huge amount of money from ownership on non salary cap stuff, and a wide team of specialized people working under him. Fire Shanny and Dubas and let Mike Gillis run the show. I am so curious to see his plan in action and Toronto is one of the places with the money to let him.

This is a guy who produced two prezzies and a cup final prioritizing skill, who then spent years travelling the globe learning about how winning organizations win.

I bet you JFJ without Richard peddie’s hand up his ass is a whole different situation. The guy knows the league and has been successful everywhere else outside Toronto.

Wow! Just wow!

 

[Mickey Marner]

I'd stick with Dubas so we can run the same roster back again and keep Matthews as an own rental.

 

[Pi]

Of those choices, Mike Gillis.

That guy who got fired from the Rags available? He was actually money before getting canned for calling out the NHL on their bullshit

Jeff Gorton.
Yes please.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Gorton

 

[Jozay]

Steal someone from Colorado or something

 

[facelessjoe1990]

Kevin Weekes

 

[nuck]

Other. I would be fine with Gilman taking over for now. I don't associate him with the club's current direction.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Steal someone from Colorado or something

That would be Chris Macfarland

 

[Bomber0104]

At least three of those guys would be better than what we have here, for sure.

From there it really depends on the interview process.

 

[Leafs87]

Mats Sundin. JK. I genuinely don’t know who would do well anymore. Lou was great

 

[Buds17]

Gorton, Lombardi and Rutherford are interesting options for different reasons. Someone that has won in the role would be great. I will say that previous experience as an NHL GM is a must.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

Dean Lombardi or Stan Bowman if he gets fired for this Blackhawks situation. Go with the pedigree.

 

[Stephen]

I want to say Bill Zito but he won't be available. The work he's done in Florida has been exactly what you'd think an analytics heavy GM of the future would pull off, grabbing a bunch of misfits and cast offs and they all seem to pan out. He turned the Panthers from a typically thin team with a good young underachieving core and put them right on the map.

Or maybe Jeff Gorton. He rebuilt the Rangers pretty quickly before James Dolan came in and changed course.

 

[PromisedLand]

Is Darth Vader available? I'd prefer a GM who can force-choke players when they F up, don't learn and eat massive cap%
