Tallon has permission to spend money, not to burn it.
You're going to have to explain that cigar, sir.
You still misses the point, Viola said, we will be a cap team, DT said we want an experienced coach that has won the cup, now we are here with Bylsma was to expensive (even if Gallant might be a better coach), Soupy is rumoured to want to move and kulikov wants more then we want to pay, every thing is the opposite from what DT and Viola said, and that will make it harder to get UFA.
Why overpay for Bylsma whether you have the money or not? The guy needs to take a step back and assist a head coach to learn how to adapt. Especially if the reports are true from Pens fans.
Sounds like we weren't the only team that couldn't agree on money with Bylsma.
Has this (new gig=no pay) actually been confirmed, or is this just pure speculation? You'd think he'd get paid at least a portion of it even if he got a new job.To be fair to him here, he gets paid 2 million a year the next 2 years by the Penguins if no one else names him coach, that goes away if he's hired, so it really only makes sense that he's likely asking 3 million a year +, otherwise I'd enjoy the 2 year paid vacation.

Doesn't matter. Still means Panthers would have rather had Blysma than Gallant.

This is what grinds my gears too. Unless they come out and say the two were so close that they picked the better contract. Which is kind of hard to believe.
Of well. Let's see what Gallant can do.
If one of the richest teams in the league(Vancouver) didn't want to pay Bylsmas demands either, then you can't hold it against the Panthers. Bylsma needs a reality check if he thinks he's worth that much. I don't care if he's on a paid vacation or not.
I think that could be the case though. Gallant was the front runner and was down in S. FLA the day after the Habs were eliminated. Which was before Bylsma was canned (officially). They way I see it is Bylsma came in and was very good but they couldn't decide on the two and the contract amount was a difference. They probably put an offer to Bylsma to see if he wanted the job enough. He didn't bite and Gallant was right there to take it.

On a Saturday? Well, GR just posted that Crawford has decided to keep his job in the Swiss league too.

Sounds like the Cat's out the bag so to speak.
