The Chicago Blackhawks general manager search is taking them across town.
The Hawks announced Monday they interviewed Cubs assistant GM Jeff Greenberg for the position. Greenberg is the first person outside of the NHL interviewed and one of five candidates the team has met with in the last week, joining Hawks interim GM Kyle Davidson, Carolina Hurricanes assistant GM Eric Tulsky, former Montreal Canadians assistant GM Scott Mellanby and St. Louis Blues vice president of hockey operations Peter Chiarelli.
The Hawks have tapped the Cubs organization previously when they hired John McDonough in November 2007 as their team president, the same role he held at the time on the North Side where he spent nearly 25 years. The Hawks fired McDonough in April 2020.
Greenberg is entering his 11th season with the Cubs and third as assistant GM. He initially joined the organization as a baseball operations intern in 2012.
He graduated from Columbia Law School (JD, 2011) and the University of Pennsylvania (BA, 2008).
