Eric Tulsky officially promoted to GM of Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes said Tuesday they have taken the interim tag off and officially promoted Tulsky to GM, a move that followed Don Waddell stepping down May 24 and later taking over the front office for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Tulsky – who has worked his way through the ranks of analyst, analytics manager and assistant GM here – now must oversee the retooling of a roster that has been good enough to reach six straight postseasons but has yet to reach the Stanley Cup Final in that run. “Eric is ready for this opportunity,” owner Tom Dundon said in a statement. “He has a proven history of managing people and overseeing operations both outside of hockey and over the last decade with the Hurricanes.”
Tulsky originally joined Carolina in 2014 as a consultant before later becoming manager of hockey analytics. He was promoted to vice-president of hockey management and strategy, then assistant GM by 2020 for work that included assisting with contract negotiations and salary-cap compliance.He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from California, conducted a two-year postdoctoral study at the Naval Research Laboratory in the nation’s capital and holds 27 U.S. patents, according to his team bio.
The Hurricanes have twice reached the Eastern Conference Final in their current run and have won at least one series in all six postseason trips. But it’s still a team looking for a breakthrough toward its goal of winning the Stanley Cup after losing in the second round to the Presidents’ Trophy-winning New York Rangers.
