Tulsky named GM of the Canes

Think this was the right move. He was always the guy driving the analytics--hopefully he has learned the other parts of the trade under Waddell. It's worth seeing rather than losing him for sure.  Let's get some dudes locked down!

As expected and glad to hear it's official. I think he's been more responsible for our sustained success the last 6 years than Waddell was. Both have been important, don't get me wrong. But I'd rather let Don walk like we did than have Tulsky take a GM job elsewhere, which he absolutely would've gotten eventually (has already had several interviews and league wide interest). I think Justin Williams could backfill some of the Waddell duties on the GM side. Team President will probably be a new hire, or other promotion from within -- Waddell was definitely good at that stuff but all that stuff doesn't directly impact the on ice product.

I was nervous about this transition but the Chatty signing and deal put me more at ease.

Slavin expected to extend 8 years $6.5M per year as soon as he’s eligible on July 1. Absolutely ridiculous steal and great early work from Tulsky. Slavin is tied for our most important player with Aho and I’d honestly give him $10M per year if that’s what it took to keep him. He’s easily worth it.
