Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on February 14, 1950)

Happy Birthday, David Poile! You're the ultimate hockey GM—so skilled at trades and drafts that rumor has it even your birthday cake comes with a no-trade clause. From building powerhouse teams in Washington to shaping Nashville into Smashville, you've truly earned every accolade—including the prestigious Lester Patrick Trophy.

Your legacy is timeless: countless playoff runs, savvy roster moves, and an unmatched dedication to growing our beloved sport. May this year bring you as much joy as watching one of your draft picks score their first NHL goal—or better yet—a Stanley Cup victory celebration dance! Cheers to another legendary season ahead!
