From the article that you linked

RE: BriseBois

Quote:
What are this candidate’s negatives? Like a lot of assistant general managers, BriseBois is something of a wildcard because we don’t really know what he’s going to do at the NHL level. For a team like Montreal – a team that has a long stretch of his work to judge – it’s easy to make a decision; it’s much less so for everyone else. Additionally, he doesn’t have the playing or coaching background that other candidates do.

What are this candidate’s negatives? There really aren’t a lot of things to point out. A closer look at Nashville’s draft record reveals a disturbing willingness to take the odd goaltender early on – such as Chet Pickard, the 18th overall selection in 2008 who finds himself as a subpar ECHL goaltender these days. Aside from that Nashville has largely been a picture-perfect small market franchise, and Fenton’s work is a big part of the reason why.

Anything else worth noting? I said in the title that Fenton will end up running an NHL team someday, and I have very little doubt that it’s true. His name always pops up in rumours, and he’s been interviewed before – by Minnesota before the wild opted to go with Chuck Fletcher – and given his resume he’s one of the most qualified guys around.
