List of current NHL general managers

(Redirected from List of National Hockey League general managers)

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.

Kevin Cheveldayoff has been the general manager of the Winnipeg Jets since 2011, and 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.
