Chicago Blackhawk’s general manager Stan Bowman has a very difficult job. Simply put, he is in charge of the overall revenue and cost elements of the team. He is responsible for acquiring and dismissing players, negotiating contracts, and staying within the salary cap.
A good general manager does this all this while keeping his players, coaches, and fans happy. And of course in professional hockey the goal is to be successful and win the Stanley Cup. No pressure though. I sure wouldn’t want that job.
No matter what your opinion is of Stan Bowman, the fact remains that under his management the Chicago Blackhawks have won the Stanley Cup 3 times in the last 6 years.
