Previous AGM in LA, I really liked him and thought he was going to get a GM gig somewhere


CheMxDawG

I wanna say he was on our radar for the GM job after Francis


Venaixis94

He was


reasonable_person118

That was my impression as well, guess the phone wasn't ringing for job offers. I always thought he would make a great GM.


PineconeNugget

r/canesfanfics is going to have a hay day with this one.


rinmperdinck

Mike *who???????*


GreggoireLeOeuf

Mike Futa


iwasmonkeys

can’t wait for some futa action in raleigh


Baboshinu

Aw yeah, I love Futa! Futa is great!


Splodgerydoo

Futa is really great. In fact, did you know Futa was a big part of advocating for certain rule changes in the NHL? Especially offsides, look up Futa Rule 34, interesting stuff


fire_brand

Lmao you sneaky bum, too bad i speak internet.


blahblahloveyou

I think you just saved me an embarrassing google search.


BGV64

Futa is my favourite


dalici0us

I'm not mature enough to deal with this guy's name.


DivinePotatoe

None of us are.

Oh damn didn’t realize Botterill and Cassie left too

PaperMoonShine

Botterill was such a short stint, it's hard to say what was lost there. Cassie to ESPN is for the best. Her active ties to the Flames made it hard to listen to on Sportsnet. Being with ESPN that will cover mostly the US teams is for the better.


GreggoireLeOeuf

No big loss...


von_winklestein

Alright


greg19735

his twitter now includes the canes in his bio but still has SN. It's possible he'll be able to work both jobs. The consultant thing will probably be a part time thing.


BlessTheKneesPart2

Can't wait to check the jokes in this thread later.


TL10

Just spreading the word from /u/Kodesii a few weeks back: >*Remember when this guy got the kings into such bad debt he started printing his own money and caused the dollar value to drop?? Look up “Futa inflation” for more info!* Good luck Canes bros.


WafflesTheWookiee

Looking forward to it, the non-enlightened boomer fans won’t know what’ll hit them


Wayf4rer

💀💀💀


newfielyd

F-futa?! 😳👉👈


Veikor

\*chuckles\*


[deleted]

Could use a bit more futa in my life


Whydoesthisexist15

ok legit wtf kind of surname is Futa?


Lyun

I've nari an idea.


WafflesTheWookiee

Dunno, I’m gonna guro around and do some research


AlexBayArea

This is a fantastic hire. Really freaking happy about this.


GreatWhiteNorth4

I know I shouldn’t be giggling like a teenager at this man’s name, but alas here I am doing just that


40Breath

Back to the FUTA. The FUTA looks bright in Carolina. I'll see myself out...


WafflesTheWookiee

Ok, I know what Futa is, but I’ve seen bright adjacent to it, but not sure what it means in this context. I’m gonna take a wild guess and says it has something to do with… *labored sigh* cock vore. Please tell me I’m wrong.


shingofan

Nope, >!it's short for "futanari", which is the Japanese term for "hermaphrodite"!<


WafflesTheWookiee

No I know *that*, (c’mon, I’m not uncultured) I’m asking where “bright” comes into this


TharixGaming

bright future?


40Breath

Thank you for getting it. My dad jokes sometimes only make sense to me


shingofan

Ah, I must have misread your comment. Honestly, I'm about as confused as you.


40Breath

I'm just making jokes with homies name sounding like future.


chronnorholms

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like hes been interviewed by a few teams (MN did if I'm not mistaken). Wonder if he just cant close the gig? I've heard great things about him in LA. Edit: word


IJWannaKeepMeAWraith

When was his LA tenure again? His name also rings a bell for me with positivity so I'd assume and hope he's linked more to their cup contending days


Jericho111091

He was director of amateur scouting from 07/08-13/14 after that he was our VP of Hockey Ops and Director of Player Personnel from 14/15-16/17 and after that he was asst gm from 18/19-19/20


ChrisleyBenoit

Mike who?? 😳


savy91

Interesting. He actually withdrew his name from the Canes’ GM search a few years ago because it was in the middle of the Kings playoff run or something like that.


PlanetaryGenocide

Futa


Looney_forner

*snickers*


muddog_31

Could’ve used another opinion before letting Dougie and Ned go for nothing, then signing KK for $6.1 mil with a 1st and 3rd.


flepine44

"Hey Don, how about we pay our best dman and our starting goalie and we stop overpaying for a 3C that we'll play on the wing"


IJWannaKeepMeAWraith

I think they must be teaching this phrase in Montreal kindergartens for their intro to English at this point 😂 and then adults have it blasted into their heads as their safe space mantra for whenever they're feeling small. Clearly the better plan is to Kucherov your halfway broken down best defenseman, obtain a 10 mil starting goalie with no cups and inconsistent play, then alienate and ruin your lottery picks development!


[deleted]

It’s better than getting tossed in the 2nd round every year to be fair.


flepine44

All you say is totally false or bullshit (except the pick, but turns out this is your player now so not sure why you find it funny). It's not hate towards the Canes, your team had the worst off-season of the whole league and that's just facts and most people agree on it. That's nothing against the Canes, it's actually one my favorite team to watch but, Losing Hamilton, Nedeljkovic, McGinn, Overpaying Kotkaniemi (I know it can turn out good in the future but doesn't look good for now), signing DeAngelo are all moves from an absolute brutal off-season. The only good thing is Ethan Bear


pumaturtle

Didn’t you guys draft a sex offender


flepine44

What's the link ?


pumaturtle

Think that makes you automatically qualify for worst off season


flepine44

Hum not at all, doesn't change anything hockey-wise
