Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SUNRISE, Fla., May 17 (UPI) -- Dale Tallon, former general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, has been named GM of the Florida Panthers.
The 59-year-old Tallon succeeds Randy Sexton.
Tallon, a one-time Blackhawks player and former broadcaster, was GM at Chicago for four years, through the 2008-009 season. This past season he was the team's adviser for hockey operations.
"Dale brings with him a proven track record and an impressive franchise-building resume that we believe is the perfect fit for the future of the Panthers organization," the Florida team's managing partners, Cliff Viner and Stu Siegel, said in a statement Monday.
Tallon played for the Vancouver Canucks, Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins in 10 seasons in the NHL. He was twice an all-star.
The Panthers have not made it to the playoffs for nine years.
Sexton was the GM for just one season.
