Bettman Honors Poile in Nashville Visit, Talks Outdoor Game Potential | Nashville Predators
"He's really all about what's good for the game and the values of the game that are so important to a community," Gary Bettman said of David Poile. "You look at what he's done here in Nashville, being the only general manager, you look at how this franchise and this community have bonded so well, the players he brings in here, the fact that he's always looking to make the team more competitive… I don't think anybody could've imagined that in a profession that has so much turnover that he could've amassed a 36-year manager career, set the record for the most wins and done it with only two teams and only five coaches. That is remarkable."
