He caused this mess. Can’t wait to see his panic moves.
3 more years with him. 4 more with Johnson. Awesome.

Maybe scratch Cullen for Blueger. If that doesn't work in a couple weeks, make another trade and start feeling out Quenneville. If things still don't improve in another couple weeks, bring in Quenneville to replace Sullivan.
Schultz should be back by the end of December, no? Still plenty of time to figure this out.
End of January at the earliest, likely mid February.

Someone mentioned Botterill on another thread. I'm wondering if he was the actual reason for the cup wins and not Rutherford. When he was Rutherford's 2nd, we saw an influx of WBS and the team was younger and faster. Once he left, Rutherford has done nothing but make the team older and slower and we're starting to see the Carolina version of his leadership.
Too bad Botterill couldn't have replaced Rutherford rather than leave for the Sabres.

Definitely appears to be some truth to this. I remember thinking early on, boy I really had the wrong impression of how good a GM Rutherford is. Now I am seeing exactly the kind of stuff that lead me to what I used to think of his decisions.
