Rejean "Ray" Shero (born July 28, 1962) is the general manager of the New Jersey Devils National Hockey League franchise. He was hired on May 4, 2015, replacing Lou Lamoriello. He was previously the general manager for the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise. He is the son of former Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers coach Fred Shero.
Shero played his college hockey for the St. Lawrence University Skating Saints, captaining the team from 1983–85. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 1982, but never played in the NHL.
Before joining the Penguins in 2006, Shero was an assistant GM first for the Ottawa Senators from 1993–98 and then for the Nashville Predators from their entrance into the league in 1998 until 2006.
In his first season on the job with the Penguins, Shero made a small splash in the free agent market, signing forwards Mark Recchi and Jarkko Ruutu, along with defenseman Mark Eaton. In addition to these moves, he traded for forwards Nils Ekman and Dominic Moore, after drafting center Jordan Staal with the second overall pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. This choice paid immediate dividends, as Staal would score 29 goals and 42 points in his rookie year with fellow rookie Evgeni Malkin.
