It's not even that.
We just need a competent owner, something the Panthers ownership has shown in the NHL.
Grier has been here too long but our dinosaur owner still keeps him.
Panthers ownership got rid of Tallon, who had enough time to build a winner, and the former coach.
They quickly learned not to meddle in operations. They gave both GM's a blank check to build a winner and didn't dictate on who to keep or trade.
Bill Zito, the current GM of the Panthers shipped off Jonathan Huberdeau after a career season for Tkachuk. At the time Huberdeau was in his prime, all time points leader etc... Ownership didn't step in. They let the GM do his job.
