OK ... let's post future comments of front office and coaching changes here in a fresh thread. We were starting to spread that stuff out between like three or four different threads.
Recap ...
- Canes finish out of the playoffs for the 5th consecutive season
- It's been reported that Jim Rutherford will step down as GM following the season, with no specifics on his role going forward
- Most reports indicate that it's very likely that Ron Francis will eventually step into the GM's chair.
- There's been speculation but no on the record comments about the future of Kirk Muller and the coaching staff
- Peter Karnanos recently gave a rather weird interview in which he indicated that he thought the players and coaching staff were fine and that we really just needed a few tweaks.
- Media speculation persists that Carolina is interesting in bringing in Plymouth Whalers GM/Coach Mike Vellucci in some capacity.
Bottom line ... Carolina is in the shutdown phase of the 2013-14 season and presumably the guys are doing exit meetings and clearing out their lockers in the next day or so. If there's going to be a tectonic shift in management, I'd think they want that done first.
