Dale Tallon is now the Panthers GM again

[2020 Cup Champions]

What a quagmire.

 

[ricky0034]

I would have just laughed if I was Tallon.

 

[achtungbaby]

Not trying to start trouble, but I know Florida was one of the organizations to go 'all in' on fancy stats...

Which other ones did, and how did things work out for them (I know, at least from the outside looking in, it didn't seem to work out so well for the Panthers)?

Also, how much does this Tallon re-hiring suggest they are stepping back (at least a little) away from the fancy stats?

Fancy stats? Are you terrible at math or something?? There's nothing fancy about them.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

he might have only been there a year, but I watched him play every night for nearly 6 I know he can't carry the load and I know this because he can't stay healthy

he never played above 37 games for his because every time he gets bumped he gets "injured" he's softer than a baby ****

the fact his career high in games is 42 should tell you all yo need to know about his ability to start

if you don't get a real starter after Lou is gone, I don't care what you have up front what you have on D it will not matter you will go NOWHERE if Reimer is your guy

Good for you. Duly noted. He's the most important player in the league. Now we'll go about focusing on our whole team thank you.

Sutter to Florida?

Yes please.

 

[Heretic]

Sabres will take Yandle off your hands if you don't want him...

 

[M.C.G. 31]

What the hell is Florida doing lmao

 

[number72]

Florida is so wrecked. This goes to show how blind faith in analytics leads to as terrible results as anything else. Teams need good smart management up to who can blend analytics and traditional hockey philosophies.

Any manager dumb enough to buy into analytics hook/line and sinker get what they deserve

Viola is really the worst kind of owner. And I mean the worst cause you take a well-oiled machine on the rise and you screw with it just cause you have an ego.

And now they re-hire Gerard Gallant and he'll show up to work in a cab. And all will be right in the Panthers organization.

....Are you honestly not aware that "advanced stats" are colloquially referred to as "fancy stats?"

 

[Dread Clawz]

why did tallon leave in the first place?

did they fire him or did he step down? rowe basically destroyed the panthers season

They "promoted " him to President of hockey ops aka banished him to Chicago. Yes, we have terrible owners.

Analytics will still be a part of their approach, but less so, and now Tallon will have the final say on decisions like he used to have. Instead of a bunch of voices with no singular leader.

 

[SenzZen]

This is really strange. I'd feel uneasy if I were a Panthers fan.

 

[Elvs]

So the Panthers found out hockey players aren't robots, but humans where some things go beyond numbers? Good for them.

 

[kingsholygrail]

"Tom Rowe staying on as special advisor." So are they going to ask him what he would do and then do the opposite?

Oiler fan here.
maybe he can call MacTavish and get all the tips on how to get paid to do nothing but stay out of the way.

 

[ChiTownCode]

Does this mean the Canucks can trade with them again?

Probably but we all know the first deal Tallon makes will be with the Hawks.

It's the ciiiircle of life.

He certainly has a pattern in building teams; a good tank, just outside, then success

Chicago

05/06 - lottery team
06/07 - lottery team
07/08 - 10th
08/09 - conference final

Florida

10/11 - lottery team
11/12 - sign long term deals to reach cap floor, win terrible division
12/13 - lottery team
13/14 - lottery team
14/15 - 10th
15/16 - win division

Good things ahead for the Panthers.
