Notes

  • a A running total of the number of general managers of the franchise. Thus any general manager who has two or more separate terms as general manager is only counted once. Interim general managers do not count towards the total.
  • b Gerry Ehman and Denis Ball have been wrongly identified as general manager when their official title was director of player personnel, whose main duties were to be in charge of the amateur scouting and made decisions regarding the NHL draft. The error must have begun when Chuck Catto was demoted from general manager to director of player personnel on April 7, 1974. Sid Salomon III took on the title of President and Managing Director after the position of general manager was eliminated on August 24, 1974.
