poetica Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Tallon resumes control of Panthers' management duties, hockey ops Quote Dale Tallon will once again be tasked with getting the Florida Panthers back on track. Moved upstairs last January in a front-office shakeup, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports that Tallon is resuming control of the team's management duties and hockey operations. Tallon was hired as the team's GM in May of 2010 and served in that capacity until the January 1, 2016 promotion, which was accompanied by a three-year extension. In the restructuring, Tom Rowe - then the head coach of the Panthers' American Hockey League-affiliate Portland Pirates - became the team's associate general manager. Rowe became the Panthers' head coach on November 27 upon the firing of Gerard Gallant. Gallant was in his third season as Panthers' bench boss, guiding the team to a first-place finish in the Atlantic Division a season ago. Under Rowe, the Panthers have gone 2-3-3 in eight games. Dreger does not foresee a complete overhaul with Tallon steering the ship once again, but changes could be forthcoming in the New Year. The Panthers (13-13-4) sit fifth in the Atlantic. The team is currently four points adrift of a playoff spot. The Panthers are next in action on Thursday night when they visit the Winnipeg Jets. http://www.tsn.ca/tallon-resumes-control-of-panthers-management-duties-hockey-ops-1.631973 Here's hoping he can start righting the ship that has begun to sink under Rowe's mismanagement!

No, he didn't. You'd think he would have because...well, duh! The original story includes Twitter quotes from Darren Dregger (that didn't get included when I copy and pasted the article...fixed it!) dated from today making it clear that it's something new.

As Bob Mckenzie tweeted at the time: Yes he did. I read an article where Rowe confirmed Tallon would take over all GM duties when Gallant was fired and Rowe relinquished his GM duties and became the head coach. Took me a few mins to find it but here's the direct quote from Nov. 28. Quote Rowe, 60, becomes the 14th coach in team history and said he will turn over all general manager duties to former GM turned president of hockey operations Dale Tallon https://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/2016/11/28/florida-panthers-confirm-firing-of-gerard-gallant.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider trading Horvat and guddy for Barkov if his ceiling is believed to be higher. I doubt he gets dealt tho he looks like a budding super star in the making!

Ghostsof1915 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 So, advanced stats don't do much I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Should've never relinquished Tallon's role as GM in the first place. If anything, they should've introduced analytics as part of their approach but still let Tallon call all the shots and make the final call as he was the one that pretty much built up Florida to the team that they were last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
