Icon30 Florida Panthers GM Resigns

On second thought, I have decided to give up control of the Panthers. I do wish I had the same time available to continue as I did, but I have been trying my hardest to do as much as I could while being pulled in about 100 directions at the same time. I do not feel it is right for me to carry on with the 1st overall pick and either it's selection or it's trade. I wish that I did not have to do this as being apart of the CPHL has been a lot of fun and I have enjoyed dealing with all of the gms throughout the years.

Thank you all for making it as awesome as it has been.

Keep up the good work.

Believe me, it was not the first choice for me. I've been working 16 hrs a day for the last 18 months without a break, and it doesn't seem like it's ending any time in the near future, so I just don't have time to take care of things properly.

If it settles down any time soon, I'll be back.

This would be a big loss to the league, sad to see a great GM step down

personally, also a big loss to the Hurricanes playoff hopes next year, we were counting on the easy points

Sorry to see you go, but at least we will have better options at free agents as you usually had all the good guys locked up before I had even heard of them!

Ironic that the GM who always came calling for the Swedish prospects nobody else knew about, retires after winning one of the best Swedish prospects in recent memory.

hope to see you back soon.
