Confirmed with Link: Dorion fired. Staios interim GM.

[BondraTime]

How are you perfectly fine with another clown GM after Dorion's topsy turvy tenure?

Hell, PC might be even worse.

Because I highly doubt it would be a long term hire in that role, and because legitimately anything would be better than what we currently have in Dorion.

Just having an Andlauer hire in place will make an absolutely monumental difference in having the rotting corpse of a dead man walking.

Chiarelli would be a classic Sens move of one step forward, two steps back.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Why lol?

he at least has a history of success. dorion has never had success.

 

[Loach]

Where can we watch the presser?

 

[SpezDispenser]

I appreciate Dorion's extensions though - for the most part.

Really love that he locked up Stu, Tkachuk, Sanderson, Batherson, Chabot, Norris. At least he left us with a nice team to work with.

The only GM worse than hiring Chiarelli would be Milbury.

This is not a good move even though Dorion being gone is the correct decision

Anyone know if there will be a livestream for the PC?

Does anyone know where to watch the presser?!?!?!?!

Don’t think it’s a bad move whatsoever.

Wondering if the press conference is being televised…. A few people I know are wondering

You can listen on 1200

Whatever success he achieved has been fully obscured by his disastrous time as Edmonton's GM.

Bruce not taking this well by already messing the first sentence of his article.

Andlauer and Staois made the announcement Thursday afternoon during a hastily called news conference at the Canadian Tire Centre.

GARRIOCH: Ottawa Senators fire GM Pierre Dorion after 'last straw'

Less than a month after the club brought in Steve Staios in the role of president of hockey operations, the Senators fired GM Pierre Dorion.

If Chiarelli is just purely a talking head and POHO or something and has ZERO say on player decisions then fine. I’m ok with him being a talking head but he can’t make player decisions he’s been awful

 

[SpezDispenser]

The words couldn't win with McDavid are not a symphony to the ears. Nor is trading an MVP player for a decent D-man, nor trading the 16th OV for the Griff.

Those are Dorion-esq moves IMO. Gonna have to be MUCH better than that. The last thing we need is for him to wake up, smoke a cannon and trade Stu for a defensive D-man.

I disagree that Chiarelli is a better GM than PD. He rendered Edmonton ground zero during his time there, and that was only over four years. They might still be a bottom feeder had they fired him later on.

I think he’ll be fine the same way I thought Waddell would be fine after being awful in Atlanta.

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

yeah, but that was before the loss of the First Rounder today… that no one here knew of until last Friday

You didn't nail it at all. Staios didn't oversee Dorion for a full season, and he's not being fired because Staios is unhappy with his performance, he's getting let go months after Andlauer bought the team for gross negligence and absolute baffoonery. He lasted 8 regular season games.

Opposites attract?

Can we fire Bruce too?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Chiarelli has lots of experience, and he has a background in law.

You have to keep in mind that job titles don't mean much in the NHL. Each organization defines the role of what a GM and POHO do.

If Staios will be in charge of player personnel, it makes sense to bring in someone with the background Chiarelli has in order to help him with certain aspects of operating the team, and also to be a front man for the organization. Staios comes from a player background, so it makes sense to bring in an experienced exec. with an actual law background.

Of course, the above is a hopeful and positive look at it. Knowing our luck, Batherson and a 2nd for Peeke is in the can.
