Admit it, you were thinking it when Eric Tulsky was named General Manager last summer.
“This guy is so...unassuming. He’s the nerd behind their analytics-driven mindset, but it’s completely different when you’re in the big chair. How can we expect him to stare down another NHL GM and have the stones to make a move we need when we had one of the most experienced men leading this team for so long?”
Tulsky has been a name that folks deep in the NHL have loved for a long time. Writers who have embraced analytics have been hoping he would get his shot to break up the old boys’ club that was the position across the league.
