Well under market pricing. Hurricanes GM search being stalled because of low salary offer, says report
What a mess, I feel for Canes fans if that's true.

What a mess, I feel for Canes fans if that's true.
Kevyn Adams is the guy they should be targeting. He's won a cup with the Canes. His goal is to be a GM. He can be a GM-lite with the Canes while learning the ropes.I wonder if it was a combination of a very hands-on owner and a low-ball offer that had them not come to an agreement? Both have been factors in the interview process from various reports.
Maybe winning the top forward in the draft prize will open up better candidates for them. Picking Svechnikov and picking 11 are a lot different.
If I were them, I'd be more upset that the guy who engineered the cesspit that was the 2000's Thrashers is sitting as "interim" GM.
He's a cheap version of Terry Pegula. He doesn't know what he's doing but likes to think he does. At least he won't waste a bundle of money finding that out.I guess the hope would be that while he failed in building Atlanta, perhaps he’s redeemable in tweaking Carolina. Not to say the Canes are on the path to being a cup contender here, but many of the pieces are in place to be a playoff team.
Even those not cynical about this would have to admit he’s not handling this well. I was very surprised that he came out publicly and tried to provide a legitimate justification for the nickel and dime routine.

I still think the Canes are a good goaltender away from the playoffs. That defense and the uptempo forwards, with adding Svechnikov... seriously on the brink there.
They would be scary if they got Tavares and a goalie like GrubauerWhat if John Tavares went to Carolina? That forward group would be solid with him at the front and they could become Nashville East. The goalie, well one of the bums they have will figure it out...
Is Pat Lafontaine available?
I think he's an upgrade over Pegula. He's already cleaned house. Pegula let the problems fester for years.Carolina got their very own Pegula, now they pay the price for it just like us...
