DT: The rumours of Mike Velucci going to Carolina won’t stop. With big changes coming to the Canes, Velucci may get a big-time promotion!

 

Mark Seidel ‏@MarkSeidel 

Just to clarify about @mike_vellucci going to Carolina, I think it'll be as the Asst. GM! He is a helluva coach but he might be a better GM!

 

Vellucci is the current coach of the OHL's Plymouth Whalers. Vellucci has coached the Whalers for 11 years and has a career record of 398-218-36-38. Vellucci's squad has made it to the OHL playoffs 10 out of his 11 years as a coach and they've won one championship (J. Ross Robertson Cup). Vellucci has also won the coach of the year award once as well.

 

The only time Vellucci's club did not make the playoffs was when he stepped down in 2007 to focus on his GM duties. Former Hurricanes goalie coach Greg Stefan became the head coach, but Vellucci regained control after Stefan left for the Hurricanes the following season.

 

The assumption is that Ron Francis will be named the new general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes and Francis will hire Mike Vellucci to be his right hand man.

      I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
