Ron "Franchise" Francis named GM of the Hurricanes

[L K]

He was being groomed for the role so it makes sense that they would hand the job to him with Rutherford stepping down.

Good luck to him. That's going to be a tough franchise to get into the playoffs. They seem like they're going to perennially be not good enough to compete for the wildcard and not bad enough to get into the lottery. I wonder if he looks to move Eric Staal, who only has 2 years left on that huge contract of his. And if so what that means for Jordan.

So they keep Rutherford as "President" but he has no direct reports. Kind of odd. He basically sounded like he was retiring at the press conference. 

Except for the title, he's almost in a Cliff Fletcher type role.. old uncle Cliff hanging out because he just won't go home and nobody is mean enough to fire the guy.

I'd love to hear Nonis explain to Shanny what Cliff does.

I think he is there to remind everyone of Alex Steen.

It would be liek the American version of The Office when the new HR girl asked Creed what he does.. Creed got all mad and asked What do I do? Because he didn't really do anything
