Snake Doctor Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 There is a buzz on twitter right now about Gretzky being considered for the job as president of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Here is the link: http://www.sportsnet...to_maple_leafs/ It would be interesting to see him back having a role in the NHL. Apparently Bob McCown tweets that Wayne Gretzky is not interested. It was discussed on hockey central this morning where it was more likely they would hire a CEO for all of MLSE before Gretzky would consider the job. That source is found on my same link above.

goalie13 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It's amazing how things can get blown out of proportion. I was listening to McCown's show yesterday. They were just tossing around how Gretzky would be a good fit and speculating that MLSE might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 He has not been offered the job, only his name has come up in internal discussions for the position. Gretzky himself said he has not been asked at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonfruits Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 hockeycentral at noon can also confirm gretzky has not been offered anything or talked to about anything regarding the leafs they don't even have a ceo so that will be step 1 before hiring a president for hockey operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I can see why TO would want to hire him. They're a media company, and adding a hockey figure such as "the Great One" would generate a lot of buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 FriedgeHNIC In HNIC radio interview, Wayne Gretzky says Kings are only NHL team that have contacted him. Adds he doesn't think he is close to... Returning to NHL in any capacity. Gretzky did say, however, that it would not be a problem to relocate if a job he wanted required that. About the house: Gretzky said he sold it five years ago. It's the one Lenny Dykstra bought, which might explains the availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeDreamOfStanley Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Your right about that. Toronto is such a huge hockey town it's easy for things to get blown out of proportion quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Seems more like a PR marketing move to me. Gretzky does have management experience but there are others that are more qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwilliams for pm Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Why in the world would he want to take that mess over. If he didn't enjoy the crap he went through in the desert. That would be that X a million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
