oldnews Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Too bad Tom Rowe rekt the trajectory Tallon had that team on. Then again - who cares - it's Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruilin96 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Bobrovsky contract is karma for Dale Tallon. This is what he gets for making Lou retire instead of LTIR, he screwed the Canucks big time, but hockey god will even things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Quote Olczyk has a longstanding relationship with Panthers head coach Joel Quenneville, who led the Blackhawks to their three Stanley Cups last decade before moving to Florida last season. Perhaps even more to the point, Olczyk also has a longstanding relationship with club owner Vinnie Viola and his wife, Teresa Viola, through their horse-racing connections and interests. Slap Shots has been told that Peter Chiarelli, who has been promoted by the NHL for essentially every executive opening that arises, is expected to be among the finalists. Scott Mellanby is another remaining in the mix for a second interview. Kevin Weekes, who began his NHL career in Florida in 1997-98, is also considered a legitimate candidate for the job following the initial round of interviews.

Master Mind Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Watch Chiarelli get the job. Funny enough, he'd be in a similar situation as he had with the Oilers -- needing to improve the defense. Huberdeau for Larsson... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Friedman's 31 thoughts: 3. The Panthers’ introductory interviews for their GM vacancy were done mainly by President & CEO Matt Caldwell, along with Michael Viola — one of owner Vinny Viola’s sons. As The New York Post’s Larry Brooks reported, Rangers assistant GM Chris Drury withdrew from consideration. He was a serious contender, if not the front-runner, and there are sources who believe he was going to be offered the job, if he hadn’t been offered it already. The Panthers have talked to a ton of people, including: St. Louis assistant GM Bill Armstrong, Montreal scout Sean Burke, former Edmonton GM Peter Chiarelli, Boston executive director of player personnel John Ferguson, former Los Angeles assistant GM Michael Futa, Toronto assistant GM Laurence Gilman, former Philadelphia GM Ron Hextall, former Vancouver GM Mike Gillis, OHL London’s Mark Hunter, Montreal assistant GM Scott Mellanby, NBC’s Ed Olczyk and NHL Network analyst Kevin Weekes. 4. Head coach Joel Quenneville is expected to become more involved as the finalists are selected. That might seem counter-intuitive, but when your head coach has as much juice as Quenneville does, it makes sense. The Panthers’ timeline for a new hire was early September, and the calendar flips on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league just changed the rules *after the fact* when they found out they left in 'loopholes' that Gillis took advantage of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
