Have they said who is going to replace him?

Kyle Bailey has expressed interest in the job.

Kyle has been very outspoken on the issue of tax-payor funded stadiums and his position (against) might hurt his chances.  

Good for him I’m against it too, these owners want a new stadium, they pay for it.

I know nothing of Mick's personal life or what he is like other than he had a bout of cancer...............

But as an announcer.........he is no better than a high school kid trying to announce their school football games....

He among one of the worst I've ever heard.

Lousy voice............strange selection of adjectives to describe things.....poor inflections.........and an enthusiasm that sounds contrived rather that genuine

Good guy, quite possibly the worst radio announcer in the league.

It'd all relative to what you're used to. Most guys are basic, plain Jane types that have zero substance beyond talking about football. Mick may say some ridiculous things or make some crazy, off the wall comparisons but it gives his calls depth that others lack. It's not robotic.

Personally, it's the end of an era. Another long serving member gone that will be a reminder of how quickly time goes by. I was 13 when he got the job and remember listening to the radio through many important moments of my life: high school, graduations, college drinking games, birth of children, purchasing a home, etc. 

There's a lot wrapped up in teams you follow closely for a long period of time.

    • https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3533281/red-hot-stankoven-grows-into-1-st-year-as-hurricanes-2-nd-line-center RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — It had been a while since the Carolina Hurricanes had finished practice, with players coming and going from the locker room. Yet Logan Stankoven was still on the ice, leaving a crowd of reporters patiently waiting at his locker. Such is the dynamic for the 23-year-old as the Eastern Conference's top seed heads into Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to face the Philadelphia Flyers. Stankoven has been rolling at nearly a point-per-game pace going back to mid-March, including scoring in every game of Carolina's first-round sweep of Ottawa. Beyond the immediacy of that spotlight, though, is the other piece of Stankoven's story: the Hurricanes are betting he can keep growing into the role as second-line center, coming after spending multiple seasons searching for an answer there.
