Steve Yzerman is a rookie GM,as well as Stan Bowman and Ron Hextall..they all seem to be doing very well for themselves.. This is all accepted, but JB was a rookie when hired. That's a non-deniable fact. WD was a rookie NHL coach, again a fact. And TL was a rookie too. All three levels rookies. Who in the right mind hires rookies - in all levels of management - to run a 750 million dollar franchise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
