Overview
- Carolina denied Nashville permission to interview Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky, a request reported Saturday on Sportsnet.
- The Predators have held in-person GM interviews with assistant GMs Bill Scott of the Oilers, Brett Peterson of the Panthers, and Scott White of the Stars.
- Carolina assistant GM Darren Yorke, who also runs the AHL Chicago Wolves, met in person with Nashville, according to Elliotte Friedman.
- In the NHL, teams must get permission to speak with executives under contract, and a denial often signals a team’s intent to keep that person.
- Tulsky, known for a data-driven approach, became Carolina’s GM in June 2024 after consulting for Nashville in 2012, which explains the Predators’ interest.
