When Tom Dundon bought the Carolina Hurricanes earlier this year, he instantly started talking like an owner that would be a lot closer to Mark Cuban than the Kroenke family. He clearly wants to be hands-on with the team, and it has forced some long-serving front office personalities - like Ron Francis and Joe Nieuwendyk out of the organization.
The new owner has said a few things that will probably make Canes fans pretty nervous. He seems to be an oldschool thinker that is going to put intangibles ahead of other - more important - hockey characteristics.
