In one of the stranger and quieter moves of the off-season, the San Jose Sharks reached into the world of Major League Baseball for a front office position.
Former LA Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti, who had a 35 year career in baseball, culminating with being the Dodgers GM from 2006 to 2014, followed by broadcasting duties for the Dodgers, will work as a scout for the Sharks.
The move, though an unusual one, does have a reason. Colletti, 65, has not just been a lifelong hockey fan, but covered the Flyers for the Philadelphia Bulletin in the early 1980s before getting into the Chicago Cubs front office.
