News Article: News and Notes XXXIV - is it time for us to make panic trades yet?

This has to mean fans in seats, right?

I'm guessing they will be mandated to something like 25% capacity or local laws.

For some teams this will mean fewer fans in attendance.
For others, much much more.

I like the idea of mandated 25% capacity.

Only a few hundred people show up? Cops fire up the paddy wagon and round up some locals.

Jails are crowded. We're taking you somewhere much worse.

This is your first strike. Screw up at the game, and we're putting you in goal.

Keep that up and we’ll make you a Sens fan *shakes fist*

I’m guessing Stamkos was the big fish? Multiple talks about goalies. We’ve been actively looking and listening.

The Rod quotes are great. He’s pretty much exactly what we think he is. Don’t touch his defenseman and anyone who doesn’t work out a lot doesn’t belong on his team.

 

[Brock Anton]

Huh, Karmanos was there? I know he's still a minorty owner and all, but I can't recall the last time I saw him connected with the team.

I loved Brind'Amour as a player but boy do I love him even more as a coach. Transparent, big hearted, predictable... I still am not sure x's and o's are really his strength but I know he'd be easy to play for.

He's still the Alternate Team Governor on the BoG. So not really empowered or involved, except to vote the Canes' interest if Dundon can't make a meeting.

They are successful again.

I've said this before but it bears repeating, I am very excited about the future of Hockey in this state. Between the Canes, NCSU's club team kicking ass in ACC play and going to the tournament for non-NCAA clubs last year, and the Jr Canes winning titles over teams from Canada and Minnesota. There should be some good talent to (hopefully) look forward too coming from North Carolina in the coming years.

Lol. Waddell left the room in the late first round and his land line phone rang so Brindy rushed off to find him thinking it was another GM calling, only to find out it was Waddell prank calling his own phone.

Yeah, I read that too and thought it hilarious. That and all of them with running size jokes makes me wonder which you boneheads are actually getting paid to be here...

Between this and the Athletic article, its becoming clear that the worries that Dundon tampers too much might be a little overblown. Seems like we've found the right balance where all views are valued and everyone is free to speak their mind without ramification, including the owner.

Probably a direct cause of why we've absolutely killed it the last couple drafts.

I agree. That said, I can also see why a GM who is used to traditionally having the last word and making the call would balk at this fellowship.

Well yeah, any GM who wants it to be 'my way or the highway' is going to have a tough time with this kind of collaborative setup. But now that we have it established, we're going to attract a slew of individuals who might have been overwhelmed in that kind of a authoritarian setup but thrive in a fellowship.

In terms some of us may understand, the Canes just went Scrum Agile while the rest of the league is still operating under the Waterfall approach.

I suspect it is a lot easier for Dundon to be hands-off when he feels comfortable with the decision making process in place and the people making those decisions. That's just what an effective bossman does. No need to tamper when you have confidence in your resources.

You realize most of us come here to AVOID these terms?

scrum agile, woof. I have not had a lot of positive experience with that.
