Confirmed with Link: Dorion fired. Staios interim GM.

[Micklebot]

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

He said they were responsible for the situation due tonegligence, but seemed pretty clear that he thought the resulting punishment was overly harsh.

 

[Laphroaig]

As far as I'm concerned Marshall Johnston was the last, and only, decent General Manager in this team's sorry history.

Rally? As in a support of Dorion rally?

Don’t know what she was talking about. At first that’s what I thought she was saying and I was like….wth?
I think she was saying we need to get out there and show support for the current? ownership and management?

 

[Micklebot]

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

Forgot one other thing, he implied that maybe he wasn't told about any of this by the League during the sale process in order to maximize the sale price.

Implied is doing some heavy lifting here, his exact words were along the lines of "idk why the didn't inform me, maybe they were trying to maximize the sale price"...

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.

Didn't he say things done in the last 2 to 3 years where avoidable too?

 

[OccidentalSoothsayer]

If that's the truth you have issues!

It is true and will remain so until they win a cup. Didn't like PD as a gm or as a person, think he is a weasle. Best thing I can say about him is he has character... for a french canadian.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

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

He (and his group) paid almost a billion dollars for a small market team in Canada. He should be able to do all the shit-talking about the NHL he wants.

[Big Muddy]

Chiarelli for now, supposedly.

That puts a damper on the mood.

Ya, not sure what to think if its Chiarelli. The stuff that happened while he was in Edmonton can make you feel uneasy.

Stunt on these hoes, MA

 

[ottawagm]

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

I don't think they will. The leak provided pressure to the league. Who knows whether they were going to give a 3 year window before it became public.

He said it himself... Pinto secret... this came out, but maybe it was the other teams....

He was without a doubt the best they have ever had for sure. I dont think BM was put in a very good situation into succeed. He took over a team that had no prospects and picks after Muckler who gives Dorion a run as the worst GM they have ever had. Then had penny pinching melnyk on top of it and kept the team competitive.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

If Chirelli. Would be terrible news.

He said the Dadonov situation leaking out makes sense because of the other teams involved. Pinto was supposed to stay internal and LM definitely seemed to get inside info before the official release came out - probably where Andlauer got annoyed.

 

[Big Muddy]

I thought you said they will likely be let go in the off season.

That's what I thought he said as well.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Why lol?

because its Dorion

 

[Golden_Jet]

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

Ya he could get a wrist slap, even though it’s the league’s incompetence, not informing him.

 

[Big Muddy]

Nailed it on the day Andlauer was announced the winner of the bid:

Your post says "Dorion could go as soon as mid-season" implying that it could be beyond mid-season.

 

[Sensinitis]

Oh Happy Day... Rejoice, Sens brethren!

Anyone have a link to the presser? Pretty please

He said he was happy it didn't leak, and it didn't. We knew something was going on but nothing about gambling publicly until afterwards.

 

[Xspyrit]

Seriously, in that type of business, 8 years as the general manager is a very long time and quite the accomplishment. This speaks volumes of the quality of work that has been done

Thank you for your service

Honestly nice move by Dorion. Resigning in this instance shows some gravitas.

Nice thought, for sure. While technically possible PD resigned, I doubt most people would willingly abandon money due them for the remaining term of a contract. PD will need every cent given his future NHL employment prospects after this very public gaff. It is common practice as part of termination agreements to refer to a departure as a 'resignation'. In this day and age very few people are 'fired', even when they are. Andlauer is wonderful and worthy of respect, but let's just say that I see the telltale signs that lawyer ventriloquist are moving his lips at times on this file.

 

[StoicSensFan]

It was 100% leaked.

I forget which person on Twitter posted it, but there was a screenshot of LM texting someone that Pinto's suspension is related to gambling a day before any details of the suspension were released. That's internal.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

He didn’t get fired???

 

[Micklebot]

Wally on coming in hot saying Dorion was basically told by Melnyk to get Dadonov out asap.
