NEW YORK — Bill Guerin of the Minnesota Wild, Chris MacFarland of the Colorado Avalanche and Pat Verbeek of the Anaheim Ducks are the finalists for the 2025-26 Jim Gregory General Manager of the Year Award, the NHL announced Tuesday.
Guerin acquired Quinn Hughes from Vancouver in a December trade, and the 2024 Norris Trophy-winner set franchise records for assists and points by a defenceman.
MacFarland guided the Avalanche to a franchise-record 121 points and the Presidents’ Trophy as the top regular-season team.
Verbeek led the Ducks to their first playoff appearance since 2017-18, with a franchise-record 265 goals scored.
