It appears the New Jersey Devils‘ search for a new general manager is underway. After firing Ray Shero in January, the team has now interviewed Mike Gillis for the position, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Gillis, 61, served as the Vancouver Canucks general manager from 2008-14. In that time, the Canucks made the postseason five times and reached the Stanley Cup Finals once in 2011. They lost that series in seven games to the Boston Bruins. While the team failed to win it all that year, Gillis earned the 2011 General Manager of the Year Award.
