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

Management - GM Pierre Dorion/Front Office Thread - Part IX [Mod Warning in post 1)

The End is Nigh!

Wait.. WHAT?@?!?

You say clearly that Staios will watch Dorion run things for a season. He's got a pink slip crammed down his throat after 8 games. Less than two months since Andlauer took over and less than 5 weeks since Staios was hired.

Anyone know if this will be broadcast anywhere beyond just the radio?

 

[aragorn]

The inevidable finally happened, unfortunately it cost us a 1st rd pick. Not sure about Chiarelli, it's wait & see.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

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

Oh okay. Goal posts have been moved.

 

[Caser]

Maybe being forced to hire Chiarelli as GM is some additional punishment from the league for the Dadonov's situation?

 

[swiftwin]

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.

I can see this setup work as an interim solution to help Staios get his bearings in his new role. I can't see this work in the long run.

 

[Ghost of Jody Hull]

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.

Chiarelli spent 3 full seasons in Edmonton. Their record over that span was 114-109-23.

It was disappointing because of the hype after his run in Boston, but they weren't exactly a bottom feeder when he was there, and they haven't been since he left.

The Hall for Larsson trade is unfairly criticized, I actually think that was a good trade. It got blown up by the colored graph brigade on Twitter.

The Eberle and Reinhart trades, plus Lucic contract, were bad, though.

[StoicSensFan]

Yes, it was him

 

[SpezDispenser]

he's getting let go months after Andlauer bought the team for gross negligence and absolute baffoonery.

Ha, they just announced this as the reason for his termination. Good call!

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

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

He is. This is all a mistake. He was supposed to get an award for being INSPIRING not a FIRING

 

[swiftwin]

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.

if not, Dorion could go as soon as mid-season.

Obviously he was not happy with the Dadonov situation, so he was fired mid-season.

Hall is clearly seen as a bit of a flawed or just support player, regardless of that NJ success. He's made the rounds. Not quite on the same level, but it's imo akin to us whining about losing Hoffman because he went and scored 40+ in Florida after. Does anyone really care about that loss at this point? And we didn't even get anything useful back like they did with Larsson.

8 games in is mid season to you? 1 sentence prior you also said Staios will oversee him for a full season. My God man are you ever huffing the copium today lmao

 

[Loach]

Found it. TSN website

 

[Ralph Malfredsson]

I will miss him. He was always such a wonderful cautionary example.

 

[inthewings]

It's hilarious that the plan was probably to have Dorion last the season, but the level of incompetence was so appalling to Staios and Andlauer that he only lasted 8 games.

 

[Mookie McGee]

It's Chiarelli lmao

Just what we need - the genius who orchestrated this trade that even Dorion would have though was ridiculous.
If it happens, I'll be inviting Cam Neely to come out for his first game here.

f***, I hope so. Look Chiarelli - LOOK. Don't do that.

You'd be alot more likeable if you ate some humble pie every so often instead of doubling down on your trolling

Taylor Hall won the Hart trophy. Regardless of roster needs that was a very bad trade based just on value.

Really picking at straws if we are trying to dismantle an argument by being off on the timeline between mid and early season.

Just let it go PD is fired time to rejoice
