Blackhawks down to three finalists for next GM

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 2/25/22

Longtime Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman resigned in October in the wake of a report by an outside law firm that found the organization mishandled allegations that an assistant coach sexually assaulted a player during the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup run in 2010. It was reported on Friday morning that the franchise is now down to three finalists for the permanent position.

Blackhawks GM finalists are Kyle Davidson, Mathieu Darche and Cubs AGM Jeff Greenberg, as first reported by @FriedgeHNIC.

Davidson has been serving as Chicago's interim GM over the last fourth months. He joined the Blackhawks in 2012 as a video analyst.

Among the other notable names to have previously interviewed for the gig was St. Louis Blues Vice President of Hockey Operations Peter Chiarelli, who met with the organization earlier this month.

Darche played 250 career NHL games across nine seasons between 2000 and 2012, suiting up for the Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal Canadiens, Nashville Predators, San Jose Sharks and Tampa Bay Lightning. The 45-year-old has been Tampa Bay's Director of Hockey Operations since May 2019.

Greenberg was promoted to the Cubs' assistant general manager position before the 2021 MLB season. According to Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune, Greenberg was the fifth person -- but first outside of the NHL -- to interview for the Blackhawks GM post.
