Don't know whether this is good news or not. Would have rather had Brian Burke or given David Conte his long overdue GM post.

Of course the Hawks might actually have to pay either one of them. :banghead:

Tallon to be named Blackhawks GM

The Chicago Blackhawks have called a news conference for Tuesday, at which time they will name Dale Tallon as the team's new general manager.

Bob Pulford, a senior vice-president with the Blackhawks, has also been acting as the team's GM ever since the Blackhawks fired Mike Smith in October of 2003.

Tallon has been the assistant general manager for the Blackhawks since November 5, 2003. He's also, in previous years, been part of the Blackhawks' radio and television broadcasts as well as the team's Director of Player Personnel.

A first-round pick of the Vancouver Canucks in 1970, Tallon enjoyed a 10-year NHL career, four of which (1974-1978) were spent with the Blackhawks.

You could have the best GM in the world for the Blackhawks, but as long as Mr. Wirtz is walking the planet it won't mean diddly.

Isn't Tallon Pully's son-in-law?

Why do I foresee this retirement going about as well as the last five. Why the hell do I keep sending them my money???
