\u201cThe Hurricanes would not talk about this when I asked about it today,\u201d Friedman said. \u201cBut I\u2019m under the understanding \u2013 it\u2019s kind of funny timing, cause Keith Pelley mentioned the other day Eric Tulsky\u2019s name \u2013 but during their search, Nashville asked for permission to speak to Carolina\u2019s GM, and they were denied again. The Hurricanes would not discuss it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tulsky\u2019s first job with an NHL team \u2013 a consultant role \u2013 was with the Predators during the 2012 offseason. Considering his previous ties and the Hurricanes\u2019 recent front-office success<\/a>, it\u2019d make sense for the Predators to wish to speak with him. But it says even more about his role in Carolina that their request was not even entertained.<\/p>\n Darren Yorke Reportedly Interviewed by Nashville<\/p>\n Tulsky was not the only individual from Carolina to draw interest from the Tennessee team. Friedman continued to discuss the rumors, including what he has heard about candidates and in-person interviews, listing Brett Peterson (Florida Panthers Assistant GM), Scott White (Dallas Stars Assistant GM), Bill Scott (Edmonton Oilers Assistant GM), and Darren Yorke (Carolina Hurricanes Assistant GM).<\/p>\n \u201cIt hadn\u2019t been reported before, as far as I can tell,\u201d he explained. \u201cDarren Yorke from the Carolina Hurricanes. He\u2019s the GM of the Chicago Wolves; he\u2019s been there 17 years. I understand he had an in-person visit. We\u2019ll see where Nashville goes from here.\u201d<\/p>\n Friedman further mentioned that the Hurricanes also declined to speak with him regarding the rumors about Yorke.<\/p>\n \t\t![\"avatar\"](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775360176_800_ab783896b73f675bc93cb7c5b0a070ee9f363e9b6b751c7e80dcfd1fd7431eb5.png\")
