It’s believed that the Panthers will look outside the organization for a new GM
Senior vice-president of hockey operations and assistant general manager Eric Joyce will likely continue to oversee the team’s AHL club. And Roberto Luongo, the longtime Panthers goalie whose jersey was retired by the club earlier this year, is expected to remain with Florida.
. Luongo was brought on this season as a special advisor to Tallon, but is not believed to be a GM candidate. Tallon had been with Florida since May 17, 2010, coming in at a time when the Panthers were 10 years removed from what had been their most recent playoff appearance. They went to the post-season three times in the decade that Tallon spent with the club, though still haven’t won a playoff series since the franchise’s lone run to the Stanley Cup Final in 1996. Tallon had successes, such as drafting Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov and Aaron Ekblad — now cornerstones of the team. He brought Luongo back to Florida in a trade, swung a deal in 2015 that added Jaromir Jagr to the club, assembled the 2015-16 that set team records for wins and points , and last year was instrumental in the talks that lured his close friend Joel Quenneville to take over as coach of the Panthers.Tallon, then in Chicago, hired Quenneville to coach the Blackhawks in 2008 and wound up watching him win three Stanley Cups there in a six-year span. Tallon wasn’t there for those Chicago titles; he was fired less than a year after delivering Quenneville. And if Quenneville turns the Panthers into a winner, once again Tallon will be watching from elsewhere.
