  1. lou lamoreillo, or how ever the h**l you spell it. he's been the gm, president, occasional coach, and ceo of the devils since 1987. he was also a key factor in ending the lockout, according to wikipedia. He served as the GM for Team USA in the 1998 Winter Olympics. In 1992, he was awarded the Lester Patrick Trophy for outstanding service to hockey in the United States. He also served as chairman of the board of the devils and nets, and ceo of the nets. not to mention he was a math teacher before being athletic director at providence college.

    but you cant have him. he's ours.


  2. Someone who knows what they're doing

  3. Bob Nicholson of Hockey Canada

  4. HI

    It would be another lawyer or business man of some type. Contrary to fans reaction of wanting a commissioner that is NHL legend it needs to be someone with knowledge of international business laws.  The owners would not put someone in place that would be a liability in fines, fees, and overall revenue lose.  The position of Commissioner is more about the bottom line, not just the game of hockey.

    Thank You

  5. scotty bowman or gordie howe

    BOOM

  6. This is a great question! I would pick Mark Messier.

  7. Not Bettman.  The rule changes are the only good things he's done for the league.

  8. Wayne Gretzky.  Who would second guess The Great One?

  9. Don Cherry?   at least the league would have a sense of humor

  10. Steve Yzerman for GM!

  11. LITY.

  12. Scotty Bowman.  His respect for the game is paralleled by his knowledge and accomplishments behind the bench and in the front office.  I doubt he'd accept it, though.

  13. Anyone but Bettman

    However Bill Daly will be the next when he steps down!!

  14. kiefer sutherland he loves and he so freakin tigh.   they could have hockey on 24

  15. Scotty Bowman, Brian Burke
