Around the NHL 2023-24 - Offseason

[My3Sons]

So, essentially Dundon will be director of player operations, the new hire is director of business operations, and Tulsky is Asst. director of player ops?
All of this with wacky title names instead of whats commonly used.

Time to get out the popcorn, Carolina may just remove themselves from their contention window.

Dundon should just change his name to Jones and save us all the trouble.

I am fairly sure that this is what Waddell was operating under in Carolina already? Maybe not, maybe they did make some sort of operational change, but I never got the sense that Waddell was calling the shots there.

Friedman on Carolina GM search (32TP): "The Hurricanes are making sure everyone's eyes are wide open about how this is all going to work and that is whoever gets this job is going to be the manager, but they're not going to have the power..."Cont'd: "The new GM hire is not going to have the final say and what this person told me is that some people have kind of backed away from the process because of this, that this is not going to be a traditional job"

LOL what a job advert

Then wtf is the point of having a gm spot lol

Friedman said jarmo might be in the running which is great because he blows

To have a middle man to take the blame when your shit doesn't work out a la David Tepper with the NFL Panthers.

Who the heck would want that job?

People who like the executive part I guess? Waddell was the GM/President and the latter is sometimes a position in itself.

Tulsky might end up with the job but it might make more sense to keep it the same way and have him remain focused on scouting/personnel.

The problem you run into is who is head of the household when everyone can’t come to agreement?

Usually when you have the owners making decisions that’s when things go south

Sure but the ones that do generally can’t help themselves

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

am I crazy, or is Brady Tkachuk not available in the NST player comparison tool? Also, neither is Bratt?

Mental illness, drugs? What caused this tweet

WTF is the Caitlin Clark comment? Just calling him a girl? Christ

Ranger fans can’t decide if headhunting is bad, Rempe is the best, or Tom Wilson is the worst.

I'm no Brooks fan, but that was not at all my interpretation of that tweet.

He's referencing how Clark (the face of the WNBA) is being targeted by other players with seemingly little being done to protect her and wondering if the same will happen to the face of the NHL in McDavid.

Still, a stupid tweet by Brooks all around. Talking about another team headhunting when he covers the Rangers is something.

Ahh, okay, that makes sense.

Yeah, aren’t the Rangers the team that almost literally knocked out Crosby two years ago in the playoffs?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

the Rangers fans are trying to hype up Brady and say he is better than Matthew, and that is making me chuckle

 

[tailfins]

Truly incredible. Paradigm changing stuff, IMO

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

apparently Trouba played this year on a broken ankle

 

[Unknown Caller]

Just the playoffs. Guy sucked defensively before the broken ankle.

 

[Patrik26]

Too bad it wasn't his neck.

 

[MartyOwns]

i swear, the dumbest thing in hockey is playing guys with a broken ankle or whatever in the playoffs. especially for a brainless knobjob like trouba. and then we're supposed to be impressed because of the fortitude of these 'warriors'.

This would make me a little nervous as a Rangers fan. Probably not for next year, but every year it’s likely the coaching will be slightly worse than the year before as it drifts from his concepts.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

sounds like Pavelski is retiring

where the hell is that $284M→$3B number from? and why include that stat?

makes it seem like he's the reason Lundqvist and Igor are doing so well, and that made the team worth 10x more

 

[Dialamo]

Jarmo apparently in the running for Carolina's GM job?
