from Dan Rosen of NHL.com,
Hall of Fame manager Bill Torrey will select Jacques Martin’s successor, but Torrey, who turns 75 this month, insists he won’t choose the man he sees in the mirror every morning to be the next general manager of the Florida Panthers.
Torrey, the architect of the New York Islanders’ early 1980s dynasty and the 1996 Panthers, who won the Eastern Conference title, won’t be coming out of retirement.
“I think I have served my time as a general manager and I know where I am in this world and in this life,” Torrey, the Panthers’ alternate governor, said a conference call Monday. “My heart is with this franchise and I want to see a good choice come along.”
