Says it wasn't a rash decision to fire Gettleman. The decision was made over time. He didn't talk about the past with JR, just the future moving forward.

So Hurney was saying this?  As if he was part of the decision-making process to fire Gettleman?

I think he said the right things at least. He also stayed after the conference to chat with the media, something Gettleman wouldn't do.

One good thing about Hurney is we'll get to see him more on camera throughout the year. I always hated how Gettleman would hide most of the year even when the team was losing or going through drama.

He was giving his opinion that it wasn't a rash decision to fire Gettleman, but he didn't say "in my opinion" so it sounded like a fact, but I'm taking it as his opinion based on knowing JR and his experience in the league.

Jeebus cripes, lets hope so.

The last day has been really bad.  If JR back-doored Hurney (heh) to be part of the process, that would be infinitely worse.

He has a child's general disposition.  He's kind of bashful in a sense.  Don't know if that's so great for operating as the GM of an NFL team.  He kept saying interim but he sure sounded like he getting comfortable.

It's going to a bizarre and interesting year, for better or worse.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
