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.

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
