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. The catchy phrase “Red Rising” should be changed to “Seeing Red” after an embarrassing year. Signing winger Alexei Kovalev was the first mistake and veteran defenceman Ed Jovanovski didn’t work, either. Then, there was the whole...
Dan Spiegel: Panthers Get Better Doing Nothing
This might be the most optimistic last place team you'll ever see. Florida GM Dale Tallon, known for his propensity to pull off many deals and trades throughout the year, stood pat today outside of trading Jarred Smithson to Edmonton for a 4th round pick.
No one in or around the Panther organization should be surprised by this, as they have won 3 games in a row for the first...

SUNRISE, Fla. – Florida Panthers Executive VP & General Manager Dale Tallon announced today that the club has signed C Nick Bjugstad to an entry level contract.

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...
Florida Panthers ready to hold fire sale
Week after week, Florida Panthers general manager Dale Tallon denied that his team would sell off center Stephen Weiss (and his expiring contract) and other assets before the trade deadline.Then Weiss suffered a season-ending wrist injury, the Panthers continued struggling and reality set in for the franchise.

Kovalev Done In Florida
from Alain Poupart at NHL.com,
Veteran forward Alex Kovalev's status remains unknown.
Kovalev still is property of the Florida Panthers, but he no longer figures in the team's plans and general manager Dale Tallon said Tuesday Kovalev was "still weighing his options."
"It was just a mutual agreement that we wanted to go in a different direction...
Dale Tallon Signs Multi-Year Extension With The Florida Panthers
from Glenn Odebralski of FloridaPanthers.com, In his season wrap-up press conference, Panthers GM Dale Tallon was asked a question regarding Florida becoming a desirable location for free agents.
His response?
“I think we sent a message to everyone in the hockey world that this is the place to be,” said Tallon back on May 1. “Why wouldn’t you want to be here?”
Though...
Dan Spiegel: Dale Tallon Should Win Executive Of The Year; Goal Differential Meaningless
What Florida General Manager Dale Tallon did this season was nothing short of miraculous. A community that could not remember what it was like to host home playoff games was treated to a taste of the future that will only bring more success and excitement.
When Tallon was hired two years ago, he inherited an unmitigated mess that was residual futility created at the hands of...
