Satisfied with what? What the phuck am I satisfied with? I don't disagree with you about scouting staff at all. While I am overall pleased with our current draft picks, I do agree that we definately missed the bus on drafting over the past decade. Once again, I agree with you about Luce. If anyone else were this bad at their current job as he is, then they'd be standing on the unemployment line. When it comes to our coaching staff, look at that, I agree once again. I'm tired of coaches with zero NHL experience. We need proven coaches, who knows what it takes to win on an NHL level. Our PP and PK are atrocious and we can blame coaching for that. I'll do one better, I think our training staff needs to be fired!! Too many damn injuries that aren't contact related...i.e..pulled groin. What about Steve Shields?? Why can't we get like a proven hall-of-famer to be our goalie coach?

The reason I ask is because you and Ballardhitshard22 like to come and troll on these boards and bash the team yet you don't give your own opinion on how to fix the team other than moving them to Canada. So I wanted to hear your professional GM experienced opinion on how the Panthers could become contenders.


Typical South Florida fan? You sound like a typical pissed off Canadian who's a fan of a poopty team worse than ours.

Rob talllas is cheap, that's why.He'll he was doing kids clinics when hired by the team. I m a Canadian season ticket panther holder from day one. Ownership sucks and has sucked for over 10 yrs. poop rolls down hill. Fire the coaches, training staff and scouting staff. Hire a true vp of hockey operations, like Brian Burke and hold all accountable. Stop bringing in old farts like Tim thomas, Jovo, Gomez and the rest. Let your young players play at the nhl level and gain the experience

Until Viola backs up his talk, I'm not buyin' what he's selling and that includes my season tickets for next season.

Why the hell are you so angry??? Everything you said, I agree with!!! I've never stated "Oh, everything in Panther land is all pretty with roses and candy canes" I said Tallon has built what he can with the resources given. Yes, he's made some bonehead trades and signings (Frolik for Skille, signing Jovo, although that supposedly opened the door to the other signings) but I still think he's done the best job out of any GM we've had in over a decade. Much like what Panthers88 said, I won't believe Viola until he puts his money where is mouth is because the same ol' song and dance have been said for over 10 years now and we're still on the bottom. Okay, Tallas may be cheap,but you get what you pay for. What has Tallas really accomplished in the NHL? I also like Tim Thomas. I would rather go younger next season and see if Tallon can sign Hiller,Miller, or maybe somehow Luongo gets bought out by Van and Tallon can bring him on board, but Thomas has done a great job here and for someone his age, he still has it.
