[CanesFanStan]

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

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 
• 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
