Good to see the NHL evolve ... finally!
Relevant hky stats have only been around since the beginning of time.

This 28yo Assist.GM is supposed to be from the Billy Beane school of thinking which will be great for Toronto. That franchise has suffered from GMs and Presidents with eyes on the limelight than on-ice results.

Well done Leafs.

Maybe one beautiful day Islanders understand to kick out that Snow guy and hire a young GM from Finland *cough*
