List of current NHL general managers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of current general managers in the National Hockey League. In the National Hockey League, the general manager of a team typically controls player transactions and bears the primary responsibility on behalf of the hockey club during contract discussions with players.

Doug Armstrong has been the general manager of the St. Louis Blues since 2010. Armstrong, who won a Stanley Cup championship with the Blues in 2019, is currently the longest tenured general manager in the National Hockey League.

The general manager is also normally the person who hires, fires, and supervises the head and assistant coaches for both the NHL team and often the club's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, amateur and professional scouts, and all other hockey operations staff.
