As the search for Ron Hextall's replacement continues, rumors swirl around several candidates who could potentially fill the role. One particular name stands out and may leave a bad taste in your mouth.
While Penguins fans were unhappy with Ron Hextall's performance as GM, his potential replacement might cause even more discontent. Stan Bowman, former Chicago Blackhawks GM, is one of the rumored candidates.
Bowman's tenure with the Blackhawks was marred by controversy when it was revealed that he failed to report sexual assault allegations against Brad Aldrich, a former member of the Blackhawks' video coaching staff. Following these revelations, Bowman resigned not only as Chicago's GM but also as GM of the US Olympic men's hockey team in October 2021.
