    The guy is going to end up as a GM somewhere. Pittsburgh is actually a good spot, since he was an assistant coach when Mario played there.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    And there's not much work needed. How bad could he screw that job up?

    Hopefully he gets the job... and completely screws it up so that I can stop hearing how people rave about much he knows about hockey.

    For 'a great hockey mind' his resume is surprisingly shitty.
    (I know TWO CUP RINGS! Pfft... my neighbour's cat could have got two cup rings as an assistant coach with those Pens teams).

    I think the restraining order Crosby must have on him would prevent that. The man-crush would interfere with business.

    Look at the good thing this would bring... no more listening to Pierre McGuire as a hockey analyst. Wouldn't that in itself be worth it?

    Pierre was on TSN Montreal 690 and said 100% he would not consider taking the GM job in Pittsburgh out of respect for his close friend Shero. He repeated it several times.

    So Pittsburgh is a no go for Pierre. Now Washington that's a different matter. It is speculated that Pierre might take a management job with Shero as the GM.

    it would be pretty hard to make pits any worse than they did this year. they have a great core of younger tallent and all youd have to do is fill in a few plug possitions to be better. even P.M. could do that.

    I suppose if his buddy Shero came to him and said he wouldn't be disrespecting him by taking the job in Pittsburgh then maybe he would consider it. He also said he has never applied for a GM job in the NHL. He said that at that level you don't apply. If they want you, they contact you. He was just on the radio this morning and wouldn't confirm or deny if he has been interview for any of the open GM jobs but he did say that he is a big fan of Trotz.
