No assumption, just his own words. Tulsky takes credit for pushing to get Rantenen.

Tulsky screwed the pooch with Rantenen by signing him without a long term contract- the fact Mikko apparently didn’t want one should have been a dead giveaway he didn’t want to be here. Just don’t make that mistake again.
Rods not going anywhere nor should he. The Canes do need a good power play coach.
Several players need to retire or go and be replaced with younger or better players. Thanks to Burns, Orlov, Staal, but they should retire. KK needs to go elsewhere he might be a better fit, we need a legit 2C. The GM needs to make selections that are a good fit for the Canes- no more Rantanen mistakes. Lots of cap space to improve this team.
