"Collective decisions"

Really? From Wikipedia:

Dundon wasted little time in overhauling the Hurricanes' front office. On March 8, 2018, the team announced that general manager Ron Francis had been moved to the role of president of hockey operations.[31] However, Sportsnetreporter Elliotte Friedman reported that the "promotion" was likely in name only, noting that there were rumblings Francis and Dundon did not see "eye-to-eye".[32][non-primary source needed]Subsequently, coach Bill Peters resigned from his position on April 20, 2018,[33] to pursue a similar opportunity with the Calgary Flames (he ultimately replaced Glen Gulutzan as the Flames' head coach three days later),[34] and the Hurricanes officially fired Francis from the organization altogether on April 30, 2018,[35]leaving vacancies in both the head coach and general manager positions.

Wasnt Ron Francis a pretty big hockey guy? The Hurricanes made the playoffs in Dundon’s first full year and every year since. It’s easier to be more hands off when you make the playoffs every year. That’s not the Panthers who had a flash of hope to end last year and are now worse than they were with Rhule at the helm.

Lol this supports my point, he came in and immediately got rid of the losers and dead weight. Canes had missed the playoffs 10 straight years before the sale, Dundon changes HC and GM, let’s them do their jobs and starts spending and now have been contenders every year. Exact opposite of Tepper who took a team coming off playoffs in 4 out of 5 years incl. a SB appearance and immediately turned them into the worst team in the league. Results speak for themselves

Well, to be fair, he didn’t really go to work for two years since he had to figure out which way the tree would fall before he started chopping. So not immediate.

But when you see a guy study his situation for two years and after all that decides to go the way he went, time to worry.

    • This would be the best option a future 2nd and 57 maybe. We’d still have ammo for this draft and you never know what capital we may acquire for next years draft. But getting EZ would really add some juice to our draft a top 3/4 Edge the top WR or at least top 1/2 WR seems like a good haul after two rounds of the draft. This isn’t close to a Brooks dislike last year and dam it sometimes you roll the dice you hit some you crap out some. But not trying or sitting and waiting isn’t going to get us our second impact player and we need 2 to 3 out of this draft to continue to build on where we need to be to contend with all teams.
    • You know when I won't be happy about this pick? When it completely ruins my fantasy draft this year, hahahahaha. We do an auction draft and while I have the most historical success in our league (same group of guys for about 15 years now), my one flaw is that I have a real hard time not overpaying for the guys I have a soft spot for and our league has gotten good at getting me to over bid on them to get them. I'm so screwed this year, I'm going to have to put a very hard cap on my budget for T-Mac and not allow myself to bid a dollar over it.  I've already made the determination that he's going to be the first player I nominate this year so I can get it out of the way early and don't sit on budget waiting for him only to over pay or not get him in the end.
    • Right. You want a quick hitting offense to receivers who can get open. The personnel around Bryce would be much better suited to a power run game and deep play action which would, unironically, be better suited to a guy like Sam Darnold.    Unless we draft another Theilen like guy later on, I truly don’t get it.    I still want Skattebo though. Have a feeling I won’t get that wish either.
