there's going to be a massive catch-up required, even as someone who is, just like Trevor Linden, not insanely far removed from playing.

But living in Sweden, it's almost impossible to follow the NHL on a night-to-night basis, given the time the games are played.

So unless you're really waking up and watching hours of video, you're missing every game for the most part, unless it's a weekend afternoon game.

And I can't imagine that that person, even with a Hall of Fame-level caliber career, would think that they have enough knowledge or foresight to step into a role of that magnitude without having to put in a lot of time to catch up.
