Hogs & Podz Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Great as far as breaking down barriers and being progressive.... Things are changing in the right direction... But before I get to excited. How much experience does Grier have in management? Edit: operations advisor for Rangers since may 2021... And various coaching jobs before...

Pretty well rounded and certainly more qualified than some of the guys who have gotten the GM position. Wish him as much luck as I can given the fact that the Sharks are still in our division. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Ya love to see it. Has some experience in the game. Hope for the best for him. Breaking down barriers is always nice and can only grow the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Pretty neat. He has experience with the Sharks too. We'll see how well he can do with a difficult situation in San Jose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike's brother Chris Grier is the GM of the Miami Dolphins so even if Mike's management experience is limited, he has family connections to people who have held the same job in different sports. Also, I bet you this opens the floodgates for the NHL. Kevin Weekes has come close to several GM jobs (Penguins, Panthers come to mind), won't be shocked to see Weekes get a GM job in the next 1-3 years.

JM_ Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I wonder if hiring a rookie GM means SJS have accepted the need to blow that team up and rebuild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Do they have a president? I don't like the idea of a rookie GM with no highly experienced president in his corner. We seen how well that goes lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 1 hour ago, King Heffy said: He's far more qualified than the guys in Toronto and Montreal. How he'll do will depend on the type of assistants or auxilory support staff he is surrounded with. Else if he's like Jim Benning (rookie NHL GM) put with rookie President & rookie head coach; it might not be all that successful for a period of time. Unfortunately for us, Pat Quinn passed away. I think Benning would've had a far easier time had he some veteran guy behind the scenes "easing him in" (aiding Linden as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undrafted Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Super happy for Grier and his historic accomplishment, but at the same time, I'm equally concerned about him being put in a position to fail because of the cap situation he's inherited. The Sharks' contract situation is certainly among the worst in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
