Some reason I read it first as Tlusty(Jiri)
would of been a long ways from being an internet star..

Dundon is definitely "thrifty" when it comes to off-ice personnel as he feels there are many competent people who can do the job (even said that publicly) and he wants to spend the money on the ice. He also believes heavily in a collaborative front office vs. a traditional front office where a high priced GM makes the calls. Same goes for other front office positions.Canes aren’t going to spend money. Shocker.
Two major differences here is age and experience. Tulsky and Dubas both entered the NHL around 2014, but Dubas was 29 and Tulsky was 40. Dubas was hired as a GM in 2018 when he was only 33. Tulsky has worked his way up the chain working with old-school hockey scouts and executives for a decade and has finally been hired as a GM in his late 40s. Don't even get me started on Chayka, who was basically a 26 year old kid with a year's experience when he got a GM gig. Yeah, they all have an analytical background, but Tulsky's brand is the more mature and wise version of that approach.
After reading several interviews with Tulsky I'm pretty sure something he brings is a history of successfully leading and managing teams in other disciplines before he even started in hockey. I suspect that skill is overlooked and or underappreciated by many.
It's also very much worth noting that he took over responsibility for all of pro scouting a number of years ago (forget exactly when), not just the analytics side. He has, in interviews, talked about learning to integrate the traditional scouting and human side for a holistic picture.Two major differences here is age and experience.

Ah yes, wouldn't be a Canes MB thread without this moronic take popping up! Guess you're still mad about 2006? Dundon puts most of our money into things that affect the on-ice product because that's how a smaller market team is going to maintain the draw needed for profitability. Tulsky has been with the team a long time and has even been allowed to interview with other teams, so I'm sure if we weren't making a competitive financial offer with that he'd walk. Stop with the stupidityCanes aren’t going to spend money. Shocker.
Let’s be real here, he works for Dundon. He’d be lucky to have dental.
I thought Dundon had buckets of money!!! LOLLet’s be real here, he works for Dundon. He’d be lucky to have dental.
You don’t get rich and stay that way by spending your money on frivolous things like employee health benefits.I thought Dundon had buckets of money!!! LOL
The Necas thing was always crap. It came out later that the team was still trying to get Necas signed that week and hadn’t really started shopping him yet.Then why hasn't it happened already? Much like how it was likely Necas was moved before game 1 by this interm/not interm gm
Chuck Fletcher is waiting by the phoneNot surprising. He's been the de facto GM for some time.
Just curious whether Dundon tries to bring in some OBC to be President of Hockey Ops or something, so they keep their Hockey Man cred.
They probably should hire an experienced "hockey guy" to work with him(unless they already have an AGM who fits that mold) but he's already seen Waddell work for a few years and is the smartest guy holding a GM position in the league so I think there's a higher chance he's a great GM instead of a bad one.Hiring a guy with no hockey experience and he went to med school. What could possibly go wrong?
Might be waiting a while...Chuck Fletcher is waiting by the phone
Sure. Better go hire Hockey Man and Talent Evaluator Jim Benning to keep a steady hand on the wheel.Hiring a guy with no hockey experience and he went to med school. What could possibly go wrong?
