The title of General Manager is a prestigious one in the world of hockey. There are only 31 of them in the NHL at any given time, and because of that, it’s a class of highly respected folks. General Manager of the Anaheim Ducks, Bob Murray, knows better than most that it’s not an easy job by any stretch.
The General Manager is in charge of composing a cohesive roster, employing a head coach who elevates that roster, and maintaining a prospect pool that’s constantly infusing talent into not only their major league team but also enough to appease their minor league affiliates.
