Just keep him off the PP and I’d gripe much less.
If he has Lindy, Staal and Aho on the 1st PP unit, he doesn't have a center for the 2nd unit unless he uses Ryan.

Depends on the hire of the GM I guess, and if Dundon believes Wild Bill is the guy come summer with a new GM on board, then you would have to assume that the roster is going to get a make over to suit Bill's needs. Does that mean even more Derek Ryan???

And once Joel Quenneville is fired in Chicago, if the Canes don't make a huge push to get him, I'm going to be PO'd
You know of course, that he's not actually forced to use all three of those guys on one PP unit, right? That's a choice ... and a bad one.
Yes, it's a choice. But with Rask done for the season, we're suddenly a little thin at center. Although Ryan was getting PP time when Rask was healthy, 8th most on the team, averaging more than 2 minutes of PP time per game.
Who is the last NHL coach to survive 4 years of not making the playoffs? I honestly don't know, but I can't imagine it has happened in a long time nor be a frequent thing in the modern NHL.
I'm not optimistic at all that Dundon is going to find (or maybe is even interested in finding) a GM outside the tent. I'm afraid it's either Waddell or Vellucci while the owner plays with his new toy before reading the instructions.
If so, that pretty much guarantees Bill Peters continues into next season, at least until owner tires of him and/or needs to make a change.
But I'm also not optimistic that without the outside hand on the wheel that the lineup will not greatly change from what we're looking at today.
Let Waddell take care of the business side for you.
So if it's work with in-house talent, he's my choice. Let Waddell take care of the business side for you.
You spelled "update his resume" incorrectly.
