Dale Tallon not worried about getting his due from the Hawks

Everyone knows that Dale Tallon was the man behind the curtain, building the Chicago Blackhawks into the team they were this past season as the won the coveted Stanley Cup. Forget that Tallon also managed to put the Blackhawks into an incredible hole when it comes to the salary cap; he deserves credit for making the moves needed to build a very deep, very talented and very successful team.

What isn’t clear is just how much credit the team will Tallon, who is now the GM of the Florida Panthers. Dale Tallon isn’t worried however, as he stated during an interview on WSCR-AM this morning.

“Listen, this organization has been very good to me for 33 years and I expect them to take good care of me,” Tallon said. “I have no concerns about that. It’s a class group and as I’ve said, I expect everything to be done in a classy manner. They’ve always taken care of me.”

There’s likely no way that Tallon gets his name on the Cup, although many believe the team will see to it that he does receive a Stanley Cup ring. When Tallon was demoted last summer after his famous paperwork gaffe, he stayed on with the organization in a limited capacity, while Stan Bowman took over general manager duties.
