Created new thread for this though now that it's real.
Great news as far as I am concerned. Canes save money and he was not going to be the coach here next year anyways. Anyone else think it would be funning if Peters and Calgary fell through?
If the Canes hire a head coach BEFORE a GM I will officially quit defending Dundon and start complaining about him. The next moves around coaching and GM will be very telling as to the Canes future. Things have lined up quite nicely for Dundon right now. It is time to hire a competent GM, find an up and coming great head coach, and get to planning a roster rebuild this summer. Time to deliver Dundon....the ball is officially in your court right now.
Wow. The air feels fresher in Raleigh suddenly. I'm going to go downstairs and see if my water tastes better, but I suspect that it will.
TD is assuming the duties of both GM and coach. It puts him closer to the players.
‘I watched several of the canes games plus a few playoff games recently and coaching can’t be that hard. With my native intelligence, I’ll bring the team to a new level. And as GM I can pull the trigger immediately when a deal comes by.
...Seems like a strange move by Calgary to think this guy would be an upgrade when so much is similar between the teams.
... Record of failure was hung on our goaltending, lack thereof, and general lack of talent, not him.
Peters may become a better head coach in a new environment...happens all the time, but I don't think it was ever going to happen in Carolina. If he does end up in Calgary I will be very interested to see how he does. He ends up with a higher end player in Gaudreau than anyone currently on Canes roster (Aho has potential to match one day) and Monahan is closer to a true #1 center than anyone on Canes (Thanks Canes scouting for Lindholm!) but the rosters overall are a bit similar with some gaping holes and depth issues. Goaltending is suspect and also another smaller markets where it is harder to attract free agents. Teams also finished about the same in standings with goal differential about the same. Seems like a strange move by Calgary to think this guy would be an upgrade when so much is similar between the teams.
You sure that isn't the 4/20 talking?
This will be the message Calgary puts out when they fire him in summer 2020. At least it will be a familiar refrain.
I heard he was going to play goal too and on his off days he was going to be our 1C, and sell pure, clean drinking water, and tacos.
Good news for everybody involved. Peters gets a fresh start in his old stomping grounds (supposedly) and the Canes get to bring in someone new (hopefully) to whip this team into shape.
