Confirmed with Link: Dorion fired. Staios interim GM.

[Cosmix]

It'll be impossible to judge a new GM when they are named, purely based on their name. It'll have to play out over the next numerous months and years.

Pierre got 8 years. I'll give the new guy 2 until I praise or shit on him.

I will criticize any moves he makes that I find to be poorly thought out.

 

[JungleBeat]

Did the new owner go in on Dorion or the league?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Looks like a nice little mom and pop restaurant

Neither one looks good after the conference.

 

[Micklebot]

wut

How can we possibly move forward without Dorion...

 

[Mookie McGee]

Time for Ian to reach out to all the people who left the organization during Pierre's Reign of Error for an insider view of the 8 years of massive incompetence.

 

[bert]

Highly doubt it.

They have in mind who they want. They will bring their guy in during the off-season.

I’d think it’s more likely he’s replaced than promoted.

Id be willing to bet he keeps his position and helps Staios during the interim. Why would he be replaced? Please elaborate.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Hope swiftin stays around we need the positive energy. But I mean he was so loyal to PD maybe he goes with him.

Yeah. Maybe he does leave "with" him. hehe.

 

[bert]

Andlauer is gonna find himself in hot water with the league pretty soon if he keeps launching nukes like this.

Oh yeah like what take away a first round pick? Lay down the longest suspension in NHL history? Oh wait.

 

[DueDiligence]

Dorion fired! My proudest day as sens fan

If that's the truth you have issues!

 

[branch]

His incompetence finally caught up with him. He did a few good things but nothing extraordinary. His chapter will be a dark one in the history of this team. See ya Pierre!

 

[BondraTime]

He will absolutely keep his position and help this year, and likely stay there.

I think he has a higher chance of being let go than he does at being promoted, the new GM is going to be an Andlauer and Staios hire.

 

[Micklebot]

@Ouroboros what nukes is Andlauer sending the NHL? I can't keep up at work.

Said he wasn't informed about the investigation during the sale, said the punishment was overly harsh, and two other team wanted their pound of flesh while the league was embarrassed, couldn't understand why he was inheriting the repercussions from past ownership. Said he was proud of how they kept things quiet and from leaking wrt Pinto but upset the stuff about Dorion being fired and team being punished was leaked, them suggested that since two other teams were involved that might explain it,

 

[StoicSensFan]

Wonder if they'll spread fake info to try to find the root(s) of the leaks.

I think its good to have some continuity, he's good at his job. Letting him go for no good reason other than he's not an original hire doesnt make sense. You alluded to him being let go just wondered why. There will be good people that should stay on, they should identify those and add.

I don’t think he’s going to be let go, I was just expressing the chances of him becoming the GM are extremely, extremely low in my opinion, lower than him being completely let go.

With all due respect sir, I believe this is going to be our finest hour.

Apollo 13?

Sounds true to me tbh. It's way too harsh a punishment, he's 100% right.

 

[Ghost of Jody Hull]

The result of having ~20 local partners who contributed a relatively small amount but are more "fan" than "owner" is that there will be leaks.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

Gail and the rally idea? You’re not joining us?

Lol

Rally? As in a support of Dorion rally?

 

[Cosmix]

I was actually excited for Dorion to get the job. Maybe that's in part because the only other rumored candidate was Randy Lee, but still.

Then he came out quickly with that Zibanejad trade and that instantly raised red flags.

That trade made me want him gone asap!

 

[BondraTime]

Sounds true to me tbh. It's way too harsh a punishment, he's 100% right.

He didn’t seem too upset about the punishment, straight up said there was likely no point in appealing because everything was in the 73 page report. He said they were completely negligent, and it was completely avoidable.

He was upset about the way it was done without letting him know prior to, or even after buying the Sens. And rightfully so.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

That trade made me want him gone asap!

Ya that might actually be his worst one of all.

 

[Micklebot]

Sounds true to me tbh. It's way too harsh a punishment, he's 100% right.

You could tell he was frustrated with how things went down, and at least from how he tells it, rightly so. But at the same time, he acknowledged that all of this and some other issues were all avoidable. He may have been alluding to some things like the DBC trade, or the cap crunch, but wasn't specific.

The NHL looks pretty bad in that they did not inform Andlauer about either investigation. Really curious to see what action MI takes but regardless there will be some serious talk behind closed doors. . Wouldn't be surprised to see that 1st round pick adjusted to a third down the road.
