Starting poorly, however, has pretty much snuffed out some Panthers seasons before they even started.

The Florida Panthers will have a new general manager next season, making the announcement early Monday that Dale Tallon is leaving the franchise after 10 years. For the last decade, Dale raised the teams profile, attracted key players to South Florida and brought character and class to our franchise, Viola said.

Luongo was brought on this season as a special advisor to Tallon, but is not believed to be a GM candidate. And if Quenneville turns the Panthers into a winner, once again Tallon will be watching from elsewhere.

His Hurricanes face the Rangers, whose president, John Davidson, won the only two best-of-five series he played in with New York.
