Hiring a search firm and then hiring Morgan has to be an all time head scratcher.   

Just Tepper PR IMO.  He did what he wanted at the end.   Or literally everyone the PR firm suggested essentially said no thanks behind the scenes.

I get the feeling it was the latter. If I'm looking at my 1 shot for GM in the NFL, David Tepper is not the guy I want to be taking that shot with based on what he's done since he got here. It would seem like a good way to end you career before it has a chance to get started.

Do they run the show?

Assistant can advise, but the boss is going to do whatever the boss wants to do. It's not like they were co-GMs or anything.

I've had several bosses who I really didn't like decisions that they made, but it wasn't my job to like what they do. My job was to help them accomplish what they wanted to do. I brought stuff to the table that made me valuable to them, but they were going to do what they wanted.

Honestly, I'm kind of all in on a culture rebuild, haven't done a proper one since Ron was hired.

Remember when we kept the core of a 2-14 team and then sucked for 3 more years with bad contracts?

Well now we'll suck for 3 more years with a better cap situation.

 

At least its something different.

Not a head scratcher at all. They identified GM candidates and no one wanted the job because of the owner.

Yeah, this off season doesn't feel like recent ones. Very, very different. Proven players. No big question marks with durability or consistency. Building the team through free agency. There actually seems to be a plan and communication with multiple coaches when things go side ways. Seems like more of a group effort where everyone has a voice.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
