Did anyone know he was expiring? If I remember correctly we signed him to a 3yr deal, although I could be wrong. If so, that would make this his final season and the extension makes sense. However, I wasn’t really thinking about it really so the extension did feel out of no where. Did it say for how long he was extended for?
Awesome that he’s sticking around. Crazy from going from that first season where everyone was demanding for him to get fired before his first season even ended due to how the team was playing coming off that presidents’ trophy run to now being the greatest coach in panthers history. Can’t imagine the team without him. Plus, it’s almost impossible to hate the guy. Love listening to him speak, the results speak for themselves, he stuck with it and it paid off. I think the arrival of him and his coaching staff plus the Huberdeau/tkachuk swap completely changed everything for this franchise. The culture, the play style, everything
