Great episode of this podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tom-dundon-carolina-hurricanes-owner/id1292603914?i=1000507668574

The higlights:

  • Has not spent as much time in Raleigh as he used to when he first bought the team, trusts the front office to do their jobs 
  • Initially was with the team a ton to shake up the culture on the hockey and business side 
  • Implies that hiring Rod was one of his best decisions 
  • Really wanted to improve the facilities - especially the locker room and practice facility (new one just opened up in Morrisville) 
  • had STRONG praise for assistant GM Eric Tulksy, one of the better analytics minds in hockey 
  • He would be "crushed" if Andrei Svechnikov signed elsewhere 
  • GM Don Waddell is working on extensions right now 

Lots of other good bits, but that was the key stuff

  • Thank Jebus 🤩🥳👍🍆
  • Initially was with the team a ton to shake up the culture on the hockey and business side 
  • Shaking out a few dollars by trading one of the best AHL affilliates and running off 2 broadcasting legends. 🖕🤢🤮
  • Implies that hiring Rod was one of his best decisions 
  • Can't argue here. 🍻
  • Really wanted to improve the facilities - especially the locker room and practice facility (new one just opened up in Morrisville) 
  • I'm pretty sure the practice facility has been in the works since like 2009. Also, picking another fight with Raleigh & NCSU over one of the best arenas in the league, that you pay dick for, seems dumb. 👀
  • had STRONG praise for assistant GM Eric Tulksy, one of the better analytics minds in hockey 
  • 🤞
  • He would be "crushed" if Andrei Svechnikov signed elsewhere 
  • You're the one holding the purse strings, asshole. But, seriously, don't fug this up.
  • GM Don Waddell is working on extensions right now 
  • 🤩🤑🤩

      18 game season plus all teams doing 1 intl

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I watch a ton of NFL because the product on the field is still the best on the planet. But, that will only get you so far. US sports fans are an aging crowd so there will be a dramatic drop when the Boomers die off and the GenXers do, as well.  The Millennials will probably be the last major generation that watches sports in high numbers.

      Big Ben on drafting a QB and roster building

      By strato · Posted

      The Bryce stanning is relentless.    Cam’s team won two games the previous season and legit was picking 1st. Bryce’s team won 7 games the previous season and was actually in playoff contention. And legit earned the 9th overall pick.  If anything made that team worse in 2023 than in 2022 it was Bryce. Come on. And missing DJ, I’ll concede that.

      Could Morgan be eyeing Trey Hendrickson

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I see the logic in what you're saying, but I'd also say there were games with a bit more talent on the roster that some of the L's are actually W's.  AZ - We don't get off to a crappy start and if this game is later in the season when Bryce is a bit more comfortable, I think we beat the Cards NO - At least one of, if not both of these games would've gone our way SF - Perfect opportunity to snag a win on the road that Purdy handed to us, but we couldn't do anything offensively TB - Final game was winnable in Tampa  All this to say, I think 8 wins is about where we were at in 2025 if you take the games we barely won and combined them against the games that we barely lost.  Add 5-6 new pieces in FA and the draft. We went head to head and almost beat the Rams in a meaningful playoff game that gave a lot of the youth that experience to take into 2026 and beyond, and I do think 10-11 wins is achievable next year.  Not guaranteed, but much the way folks thought we could get to 8 or 9 wins this year as the ceiling, I think 10-11 is the new ceiling for next year.
