Stan Bowman: A Controversial Choice

While Penguins fans were unhappy with Ron Hextall's performance as GM, his potential replacement might cause even more discontent. Stan Bowman, former Chicago Blackhawks GM, is one of the rumored candidates.


Bowman's tenure with the Blackhawks was marred by controversy when it was revealed that he failed to report sexual assault allegations against Brad Aldrich, a former member of the Blackhawks' video coaching staff.
