Hurricanes have made the playoffs 4 times in the last 18 seasons. It just so happens that they have also made the conference final every single time. For comparisons sake, the worst run organization in the league (Edmonton) has made the playoffs three times in that span. Flames have made it in 8 times.

I would call that more good fortune than a consistent contender. I won't be surprised to see them drop off again next year.

TSN interview sounds quite different. It basically sounds like Waddell has a great salary and is employed indefinitely like most of us salaried folk are. IE - Carolina is moving away from contracts for front office staff.

We're not all making millions of dollars with only 31 available spots.

People under him might want greater assurances.

Which could be a unique way of showing loyalty to their staff....

Or...an easy way to get rid of them without any severance compensation when it becomes convenient.

If it's so great for Waddell why would he interview in Minnesota?

And yet, nothing. None of that has to do with the current situation.

I'm pretty confident if some one is employed in an job with no contracted end date and they get terminated they would qualify for severance.

This!

If you have a contract and it ends you get nothing. If you have indefinite employment and it ends, you get severance. So it's not really about job security or money

I'm not sure what's going on, but I can see the rationale of why it might make sense by the canes. The contracts are fake job security. Doesn't matter how many years left on someones contract; if they want out, they ask for permission. If you want them out, you fire them. It's a key for culture: you don't want anyone there who doesn't want to be there.

And this also reduces the drama of "will they extend him? At what salary? Etc." Now you just got through a review every year and get a salary bump. If you don't like your salary, leave. If you don't like your boss, leave. If you don't like your coworkers, leave. If they don't like you, youre fired. It's all so...normal.
