Great is a little generous.He hasn’t earned a huge raise though. Columbus isn’t a job you threaten a great team with leaving for. This isn’t the same as Minnesota from before.

Did you just ask a poster named "Derailed75" why he's derailing it?There is only 1 in this thread though, not sure why you are derailing it.
In fairness, you've made 3 posts in this thread. 2 of the 3 had nothing to do with discussing Waddell. Both sides need to just let it go.Everyone else is discussing Waddell, but keep focusing on the other dude.
Dundon's pockets still hurting from the Aho/Kotkaniemi offersheets
That 20mil in one calendar year really did a number
So 3rd most points in the last 5 years is what mediocre?Great is a little generous.

Irony probably flew over his head
I think it’s easy. Habs fans, and many fans from Canada who love to hate Dundon.Find someone who loves you as much as Canes fans love their team/personel holy sheet!
We are not turning another thread into a Canes Vs Habs pissing match, either kiss and make up or use one of the other threads for that purpose
Also trading the Florida boy former junior Panther Priskie to Panthers the NHL team made a feelgood story. If I was a high-up in the NHL marketing these are the sideshow trades that I would actively try to facilitate. Would be sending memos and circulars to the GMs that if and when you are shuffling the deck chairs, *this* guy to *this* team is something we as the league could get some mileage off.- Priskie was AHL fodder who the Canes got for free as an NCAA free agent.
Don't forget offersheeting KK, giving up a 1st+, then overpaying him twice and now faced with a buyout.When your list of "good trades" is paying full retail for 3 years of Hamilton, giving up a middle 6er for a different middle 6er, trading a cap dump/buyout candidate for a $3.4m backup goalie, and getting a 37 year old Brent Burns for essentially nothing, you'll have to excuse me for not being impressed. Even Trocheck and Skjei weren't exactly cheap, even if they both had term left on their contracts.
But, then again, I could be spoiled as an Avs fan, where a good trade is a couple of 2nds for a Devon Toews, who is then signed for 4 years at $4.1m.
In his 6 tenure as President and GM in Carolina:Don't forget offersheeting KK, giving up a 1st+, then overpaying him twice and now faced with a buyout.
Waddell was a failure. But he's smart, he's getting out before the house of cards fall.
CBJ should be happy to get him as the alternative was apparently Bergevin!
My $0.02 on Carolina:So Canes and Jsckets both open to make big roster moves? Which players?
My $0.02 on Carolina:
Likely Trade: Necas - RFA
Possible Trade: Suzuki - RFA, Kotkaniemi - Under contract.
UFA: Skjei, Pesce, Chatfield, DeAngelo, Teravainen, Noesen, Martinook, Guentzel. Of those, I would guess that Skjei, Chatfield, Martinook and Guentzel are the guys the Canes are trying hardest to re-sign (my own speculation).
Likely re-signed: Drury - RFA, Comtois - RFA
Definitely re-signed: Jarvis - RFA
I said it in jest earlier in the thread, but looking at the work to be done in Carolina, it's going to be an active and tough off-season for the GM or interim GM.
