Tulsky interview for Czech media outlet Seznam Zprávy


Link (translate in chrome yields decent readable results)

Exclusive interview I figured might be of interest.

Key points:

  • Same old questions about his background in chemistry, patents, etc. I wonder if he ever gets tired of answering the same questions all the time (I know I would).
  • Same old questions about role of analytics in modern sports and how it works in Canes org.
  • Canes are "built different", as in they value different things in players than other teams do.
  • Europe born players vs. NA. Says its a non-factor.
  • Really likes Badinka as a big two-way D with experience from mens league.
  • On Nečas:
    • Praises his speed, ability to create offence on his own and decide games.
    • Pretty much admits that the system can, at times, be too restrictive for him.
    • Says the team needs players like him and value his skills a lot.
    • Arbitration is a normal part of the NHL business, but hopes it does not have to come to it.
    • Confirms it's not about money, but fit and says they really want to do put him in the position to succeed.
