Captain Aerosex Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I like the idea of the assistant who's been groomed on a good team for a while and knows the ins and outs of the management game…Benning, Fenton, Hextall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackberries Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I would rather have Naslund. He too is a current GM and it would be fitting for another Canuck legend to join in. Yuck don't want his defeatist attitude anywhere near this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Gaunce Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Already posted in the Benning thread. I can't say it makes sense to have a new thread for every possible GM rumour out there. Not everyone scrolls down in the thread and it's from a pretty notable source. What's the harm in a new thread lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Would we then allow Markstrom to mix it up with other goalies? Should be entertaining to say the least.Please go hard after Benning first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Why haven't you been made a moderator yet? Who says I'd want to be? (Or that you'd want me to be...I'd be way to hard on some people here!) Why cant Hextall have his own thread huh? Nothing wrong with Hextall as one option for the GM, but why not keep all the discussion in one spot when this is just one tweet on him where the second tweet actually puts Benning still on the top? I, for one, would not have seen this without a new thread. Just saying. Fair enough, but if you're following along in the Benning thread you'd see it. Of course you could have seen it if you were on Twitter as well, but hey. Not everyone scrolls down in the thread and it's from a pretty notable source. What's the harm in a new thread lol And what's the harm in a thread to talk about the bully of Amanda Todd getting arrested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've heard several comments throughout the year watching games that he will be the next great manager, I believe the word I remember was prodigy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hextall has a solid resumeUpon his retirement from playing in 1999, Hextall immediately joined the Philadelphia Flyers' set-up as a Professional Scout. He was promoted to Director of Professional Player Personnel three years later, and was considered by the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame to be a key factor in the success experienced by the Flyers during the early 2000s, when they won the Atlantic Division three times, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals on two occasions.[98] In June 2006, Hextall moved to the Los Angeles Kings to take on the role of Vice President and Assistant General Manager. In addition, Hextall served as the General Manager of the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL, the Kings' primary affiliate.[98] On June 11, 2012, Hextall won the Stanley Cup that eluded him in 1987 and 1997, this time as the Assistant General Manager of the Los Angeles Kings. On July 15, 2013, Hextall returned to the Flyers, being named Assistant General Manager and Director of Hockey Operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDDawg Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 what are you the thread police? I find it frustrating to have to follow umpteen different threads on essentially the same topic. Would be nice to have certain topics such as GM rumours or news centralized. I'm sure elvis is not on some power trip (I'd like to think), but simply trying to help cut the clutter on these boards to make them enjoyable for everyone.

Tearloch7 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I doubt very much that Hextall leaves Philly .. he is the natural successor to Holmgren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I doubt very much that Hextall leaves Philly .. he is the natural successor to Holmgren. if he's offered a gm job elsewhere and holmgren isn't ready to pass the torch, he almost certainly takes it.

Angry Goose Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I doubt very much that Hextall leaves Philly .. he is the natural successor to Holmgren. true, but he can't wait around to see if Holmgren quits/gets fired. I bet he'd take a job with VAN if it was there. Wonder if Hextall would go with Torts? He is definitely the type of a guy who knows how to build a team to compliment Torts style of play.

That's great for those that read threads alot but for those of us that just drop in it's easier to find a new thread with updated news to catch our eye instead of reading through a ton of opinions And no, I don't rely on this place for my information but it does trigger me to chase information down sometimes when something come up. I would not find that buried on page 20 of a 50 page thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
