Dude didn't know anything about the game of hockey just 2 years ago and now his GM and head scout won't be able to do their job because he has to personally approve the draft picks...based on "more entertaining position"?

It's clearly hyperbole. C'mon.

What do you expect from an owner watching a team that is struggling to score 2 goals a game dating back to mid-October? The people under him convinced him that trading Hanifin in a package for 2 defensemen and essentially redirecting money spent on a forward (Skinner) to sign a defensive defenseman (de Haan) was a good idea. Carolina has a pretty high recent 1st round pick in Bean sitting in Charlotte that they can't get NHL contributions from, barring injury, because of everyone ahead of him.

I would probably be frustrated, too.

If you are an owner and you want to build a winning team follow this checklist

1. Acknowledge the fact that you do not know as much about hockey as a good GM
2. Find a good GM.
3. Hire him
4. Offer him the resources he needs to run the team.
5. Get out of his way and let him run the team as he sees fit.

Obviously Tom Dundon is not following this list.

I was going to make this thread hours ago but figured someone had already done it and it had about twenty pages of discussion by now....

He’s just trying to get headlines at this point.
