DALE TALLON RUMORS & GOSSIP

Dan Spiegel: Is Dale Tallon's Job In Jeopardy?

There have been numerous reports, which I will call mere speculation and editorial pieces, questioning the confidence Florida Panthers' ownership has in GM Dale Tallon after a disastrous season. In this "win now" sports culture we live in, it is possible there is some slight merit in asking this question. However, I think it's preposterous to think anything less...

Hockey Talk And Whispers

from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, - Dale Tallon’s status as executive of the year has taken a hit after a disastrous season in Florida.

Dan Spiegel: Could Tallon Be A Buyer?

As trades are starting and teams are either dumping salary or preparing for the stretch run, GM Dale Tallon has been very quiet. Too quiet. For someone who is known for liking to shake things up when needed, it would make sense that his last place Panthers are in dire need of some big changes. Common sense would say players need to be shipped out and Tallon should be a seller...

Dan Spiegel: Dale Tallon Should Win Executive Of The Year; Goal Differential Meaningless
