We count down 15 candidates to become Detroit’s next general manager or head of hockey operations. This is not a prediction of who Chris Ilitch is most likely to hire. It’s a ranking of who could create the clearest break from the previous regime and deliver a faster, more modern turnaround.
The candidates include:
Kris Draper, Shawn Horcoff, Ryan Martin, Tom Fitzgerald, Brendan Shanahan, Marc Bergevin, Josh Flynn, Brandon Pridham, Jim Nill, Scott White, Sam Ventura, Evan Gold, Brett Peterson, Tim Barnes and Darren Yorke.
Who can establish a legitimate contention window? Who would bring analytics, aggressive roster management and a modern player-first philosophy to Detroit? And which candidates would offer little more than another version of the Yzerplan?
Let us know your No. 1 choice—and which candidate you want nowhere near the job.
