Feels like Waddell is leaking this to put pressure on CAR.

I don't think this would be a good look for him

I don’t how much to read into this. Dundon is a tough negotiator. Using the media and even meeting with other teams are cards to play. As a reminder, Waddell met with Minnesota about the GM job (that eventually went to Bill Guerin) while actively in the role with the Canes 5 years ago.

Who have open (or potentially open) GM spots right now?

 

[MOGlLNY]

Dundon is seemingly a good owner because his team is doing well but he's kind of a clown for letting all this stuff constantly get brought to public.

I can also see if the Hurricanes start to struggle down the line that he could be an owner that the fans hate.

CBJ (where he interviewed) and everyone seems to believe EDM is going to say goodbye to Holland when their run ends.

You also never know which team can add an executive to create a 2 headed monster.

dude's gonna get paid

and dundon doesn't like that

 

[GordonGraham]

Why did they let him re hire the coach then ?Getting a new gm and handcuffing him with a coach he didnt choose is not a recipe for success

 

[JianYang]

Waddell is an interesting case. His stock was very low in Atlanta, and I imagine he'd be fairly well sought after now.... quite a change

Why is he a clown for letting stuff go public? Why is it a bad thing that others know what’s going on? Instead of people speculating they actually know more, big frigging deal…

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.

Why do people hate ‘ole boys’ so much lmao

Waddell is a clown, he did nothing well and wasted the Thrashers and got another job somehow.

a joke GM.

The past is the past. He’s done well for Carolina.

It’s long been known most of the hockey decisions in Carolina have been made by committee. If Waddell has priced himself out of the teams range what’s the problem with letting him go if they can replace him internally? Not paying guys whatever they want is how you avoid getting yourself into financial trouble.

The amount of money paid to a GM shouldn't be a setting a serious team into financial trouble.

The Atlanta Thrashers ownership sucked. Not much Waddell could do with that team. He's done a sold job with the Hurricanes, with the blot that is the Kotkaniemi offer sheet, but who knows if that came from above Waddell or not.

 

[TheBigLetowski]

Most Canes fans know that the Canes Gm'ing is done by committee, and Tulsky is about 75% of that. I think if DW doesn't get extended, its because Tulsky/Yorke are ready in the wings.

Because they've been brainwashed into believing new is better.

Canes operate differently and a lot of things are done by committee. If Waddell moves on they would be looking to replace him with someone who is on board with the team/org philosophy. Not some cowboy that is gonna come in and run the show solo.

The amount of money paid to a GM shouldn't be a setting a serious team into financial trouble.

It sets a precedent though and there is often a ripple effect. You let one person (even one in a prominent position) do it and then everyone will use that as a case study to do it for themselves. Then you have a problem and your budget is completely busted.

Their ownership group sucked, but Waddell made some horrendous decisions that can’t be solely blamed by inept ownership.

Lehtonen was a huge miss with the 2nd overall pick, got a terrible return for Hossa and Kovalchuk, made an asinine amount of hires for HC, and made only one playoff round with 0 PO win.
