Confirmed with Link: Dorion fired. Staios interim GM.

[Ghost of Jody Hull]

Chiarelli has plenty of bad trades and contracts to his name already without me needing to give him time for more screw ups in Ottawa.

He also has good trades and signings.

 

[milkbag]

@AchtzehnBaby wasn't Dorion supposed to not have his contract renewed? That there was no way he'd get canned?

 

[swiftwin]

He also has good trades and signings.

Dorion has good trades and signings.

 

[StoicSensFan]

He also has good trades and signings.

Was PC at the helm when the Ceci for Hall 1 for 1 almost happened?

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

You can tell they wanted to do this for a minute just needed the perfect opportunity .

As someone who has no issues defending Dorion when it is deserved. After the news today there was no way he could continue being the GM.

Agreed, the loss of the first rounder was the reason SS was waiting for, and he will probably take over as GM until “his Guy” is available…

DJS better get his act together, as he is no longer the GMs hand picked Coach, and is now coaching for his life…. Otherwise he will be..

 

[Hale The Villain]

Chiarelli may be better than Dorion but he's proven beyond a doubt that he's not good at his job

He wouldn't be a good hire

 

[L'Aveuglette]

He also has good trades and signings.

Go ahead and ask any Oilers fan if they agree with you.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Damn it's happening.

Hate to see a guy lose his job... but this has been a long time coming.

Gotta wonder who takes over. Staois?

 

[Matsens15]

Was PC at the helm when the Ceci for Hall 1 for 1 almost happened?

Yes, it was him

 

[Ghost of Jody Hull]

Dorion has good trades and signings.

Sure. Never said he didn't.

I didn't start shitting on Dorion until year 3-4 of his tenure. I'll give the new guy the same grace period.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Unfortunate context but finally

I can never get enough of seeing incompetents get fired

No one tell him. Let the guy have a few more moments of peace.

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

 

[Ghost of Jody Hull]

Apparently, Staios and Andlauer will be at the PC, no one else. Doubt we hear about a replacement today.

My guess is if Chiarelli is brought in, it'll be an advisor role, and a full scale GM search will happen in the summer.

 

[Forgetful]

I absolutely don't want Chia but it could be slightly worse, at least it's not Fletcher or Benning

 

[BigRig4]

Prayed for times like these

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I almost feel bad for Dorion. Lose the career and become a laughingstock of the entire industry. That must suck.

I don't feel bad for him.

He became GM because of being in the right place at the right time. The same issues that made it possible for him to be GM are what exasperated the issues with his narrow functional orientation to fail as GM.

After Bryan Murray, he could have left Ottawa and worked his way up somewhere else that had more stable and less meddling ownership and a proper management group surrounding him. The obvious downside to that is there is no guarantee he becomes GM, let-alone maintains an A-GM role.

He was one of the longest running GMs in the league because of the nature of how things were under Melnyk. So there is both pros and cons to the way it worked out for him. I don't think he was viewed as some grade A hire when he was promoted to GM. I don't recall there being rumors about other teams trying to poach him when he was an AGM here. Tim Murray was the one who got poached.

Pulling up to the press conference like

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Whoever inherits this team is lucky.

Your whole identity... Shattered!

How are you holding up?

Don't answer, no one cares

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Sure. Never said he didn't.

I didn't start shitting on Dorion until year 3-4 of his tenure. I'll give the new guy the same grace period.

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.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

No one tell him. Let the guy have a few more moments of peace.

Chiarelli eh . . . Does that ever leave some mixed feelings

 

[Sun God Nika]

I feel so bad for Bruce this is his livelihood

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Maybe Chiarelli is funny?
