They've all started with their first team, and guess what?

The common thread is they haven't been fired because they've done a good job.

Find the next new one.

Get fresh blood, new perspectives, new ideas.

Not to say the last guys can't do it.

It's just why go through that again?

I mean, anything's possible.

That's the thing about these searches is that as part of what makes Toronto so fascinating, right?

They're talking to inexperienced,

General managers right now as finalists for their role, Ryan Martin, assistant GM of the New York Rangers and Evan gold assistant GM of the Boston Bruins are in there right now this week as.

Um, quote unquote finalists for the job.

I think there's a third one in the mix.

Uh, I think, and it's not confirmed, but my hunch would be Scott white assistant GM for Dallas.

So if those are your three finalists, then you try and put together, okay, how does, or doesn't Matt Sundin fit into this hierarchy?

And is there a president of hockey ops?

Um, is Mike Gillis still involved?

Whatever happened to Doug Armstrong?

I think there's lots of questions as to who else might be part of this, but if that's your thought process and you're going to bring in someone that doesn't, hasn't held the title before.

then you can surround them with however you want.

There is no one size fits all.
