The Ducks hire Verbeek as their next GM
Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks have named Pat Verbeek their sixth general manager in franchise history.
“Susan and I are delighted to welcome Pat Verbeek to our community to guide our hockey club as the next General Manager of the Anaheim Ducks,” said Ducks Owners Henry and Susan Samueli. “Pat’s outstanding work ethic and vast knowledge of the game as a successful executive and player throughout his 35-plus years in the NHL make him an outstanding fit to lead us forward. He brings a unique pedigree, having vast experience and serving in integral leadership roles for championship teams as both a player and executive at the NHL level.”
Elliotte Friedman: Jason Botterill of the Seattle Kraken was the other finalist for the Ducks GM position.
TSN: Internal candidates Jeff Sullivan, Martin Madden and Dave Nonis appear to be okay with staying with the Ducks even though they didn’t get the job.
” I’m told that they are happy to stay on and continue to do their jobs under Verbeek. The real question is, what does Verbeek want to do with this front office? I think he’s going to take his time, figure out who’s who and who should be doing what.”
