Manoir 70 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 I think he'd do a horrible job. http://www2.sportsnet.ca/blogs/hockey_hear...r_front_office/ Mark Messier is hoping to return to Broadway. The former Rangers' captain who led New York to the Stanley Cup in 1994 told the Edmonton Sun that he is hoping to take over as the team's general manager once current GM Glen Sather decides to retire.

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 I think he'd do a horrible job. Why? While I have no reason to think he would do a great job, I have no reason to think he'd do a terrible job either. My only comment would be "does he really have any experience in this area?"

Louisville 112 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 Why? While I have no reason to think he would do a great job, I have no reason to think he'd do a terrible job either. My only comment would be "does he really have any experience in this area?" Does Messier already have a frot office job witht the Rangers? It makes sense that he would be in a "VP" type simaler role like Yzerman, after he retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
