Messier is one of the best leaders/captains in the history professional sports. It's always been thought that if he put his mind to learning the business of hockey, he could become a top executive. This is the first step and I am hopful he will develop into a strong front office guy. Paul O'Neill can't even handle a full-time schedule with the YES Network.

Being a great leader or captain of a team doesn't necessarily mean you are going to be able to build a great team if and when you are handed the keys to a franchise.
