Report: Panthers to promote Dale Tallon, name Tom Rowe new GM

After the Florida Panthers won their second division title in team history, a number of executives are reportedly in line for significant promotions.

Current executive vice president and general manager Dale Tallon is expected to move into a "president of hockey ops-style position," according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Associate general manager Tom Rowe will take over GM duties, while Eric Joyce - who is responsible for the team's advanced analytics department - will be named assistant general manager.

George Richards of The Miami Herald added that Tallon, who has served as general manager since 2010, will "continue doing what he does," but with more input from Rowe and Joyce.

Though Rowe hasn't officially been named the general manager, it appears he isn't wasting any time making a larger imprint on the club.

The Panthers are expected to announce their new management structure when Tallon returns from the World Championship in Russia, according to Richards, who adds that current VP of legal and business affairs Steve Werier will also be named an assistant GM.
