“Pat Verbeek is one of the brightest minds and hardest workers in the game, and he has been a trusted and valued resource for me throughout my management career,” Yzerman said in a statement. “I will miss working alongside him but will continue to value the close friendship we have developed over the years. He is very deserving of his new role as general manager of the Ducks and I wish Pat and Dianne all the best in Anaheim.”
Not a bad list overall, but to be honest I don’t like Pat Verbeek enough to make me want to wish Anaheim any success.
