А что ДК написал про Таллона?
If the Panthers were a serious NHL franchise, everyone associated with the trade that essentially gave away Jared McCann and Nick Bjugstad would be fired by, oh, a month ago. But they aren't that serious, and they won't do a thing. Dale Tallon, the GM, was told to whack payroll in preparation for free agency and, thus, prioritized moving Bjugstad's contract -- average annual value of $4.1 million through 2021 -- even if meant conceding McCann at age 22.
That's on everyone, from ownership to the front office to Tallon himself.
This was what Tallon told reporters in Sunrise the day he got stuck with Derick Brassard and Riley Sheahan: “This move balances our needs now and will help us improve in the future. We are pleased to have acquired two quality veteran forwards in Derick and Riley, while adding three valuable 2019 draft selections. This move allows our team to remain competitive this season while providing additional flexibility and permitting us to be aggressive in the free-agent market this summer.”
My goodness.
The Panthers were 11 points out of a playoff spot at the time, and they're predictably 11 miles out now. Brassard's already been dumped to the Avalanche for a third-round pick. Sheahan's going to be an unrestricted free agent. And the financial savings toward free agency, presuming Florida would ever participate in such a foray, are minimal.
Full credit to Jim Rutherford for pouncing, but hockey will never gain a foothold in South Florida until it gets responsible stewards like those on the other side of their state.
