Its happening. What you see is what you getPeople. I acknowledge that there is no point in firing Pierre right now. But eventually, Eugene will need a scapegoat. What happens then?

There's definitely a point to bringing in someone who can properly negotiate deals and not be viewed as a doormat by the rest of the league. These deals he's making are going to be felt for years and years and will only make the job of the next guy that much more difficult. Imagine the new GM coming in with half the core traded away for 10 cents on the dollar and a a bunch of picks traded from the next few year's drafts? Next year we only have two picks in the top 90. Pittsburgh's 3rd and our 2nd. That's f***ed for a team that's the worst on paper in the league.People. I acknowledge that there is no point in firing Pierre right now.

Why do you keep thrashing around for excuses?How many times per season does Ottawa play Florida & what will that do for EK having Hoffman in the same division? How much of a media circus will there be every time they play each other next season? I wonder whether EK will want to put up with that nonsense for another yr & question after question about the **** show in Ottawa & the Hoffman situation without or before losing his ****? If Hoffman would have stayed in San Jose I could see that as more of an incentive to stay in Ottawa but with Hoffman in the same division playing them several times per yr, home & away, I don't know now.
Yeah, a rebuild is an awful idea. Making the playoffs every second year is clearly a better plan.
Honestly I would welcome watching an exciting young team instead of whatever we've been watching the last 5 or so years.would hate to stick to a long term plan to find consistent, sustainable success. would be torture to be bad for 2-3 years while acquiring young talent instead of sneaking into the playoffs on the back of karlsson & some ridiculous pdo bender every other season.
me too. it would atleast give me incentive to watch games. i only watched games in the 2tnd half of the season last year for chabot basically. i would welcome with open arms seeing brown/chlapik/white/chabot/top pick/jaros out there playing exciting hockey, making mistakes and learning from guys like stone/karl/ducheneHonestly I would welcome watching an exciting young team instead of whatever we've been watching the last 5 or so years.
Word. Add on top of that a big commitment to Belleville and making them competitive. I might follow them closer like I did Bingo back in 2011.Honestly I would welcome watching an exciting young team instead of whatever we've been watching the last 5 or so years.
I don't get the email part? Did he email instead of call/text a teammate to resolve an issue?

It's much more interesting to tune into a game and see how a guy like Chlapik is progressing than how a guy like Smith is regressing.
Meh Hoffman shouldnt scare anyone,Iam sure there will be a few players looking to play against himHow many times per season does Ottawa play Florida & what will that do for EK having Hoffman in the same division? How much of a media circus will there be every time they play each other next season? I wonder whether EK will want to put up with that nonsense for another yr & question after question about the **** show in Ottawa & the Hoffman situation without or before losing his ****?

Man, you are overly sensitive about this. I'm just wondering how he would feel given Hoffman is in the same division & he has to play against him much more often & whether the circus around it is a factor or not. You take this stuff way too seriously [mod]Why do you keep thrashing around for excuses?
Everyone here is aware that you want EK gone. Just man up and stop with the BS
Don’t expect much from spineless PR Dorion. Where’s all that energy and smug comments now Pierre?Is Dorion going to make his pic via Live Stream from his bunker or is he actually going to physically be in Dallas where he may actually have to answer some questions from reporters?
@coladin what are your thoughts for this?
Rebuilding works sometimes, but not always. Ideally we would have stuck with our 2011 rebuild, but we didn’t.
I’m for building around Karlsson, Duchene and Stone, but I’m not sure that will happen. I’m preparing for Karlsson to leave. I don’t want it, but that’s what I think will happen.
It doesn't even work "sometimes". More like "rarely".
If the team is telling the media they don't like the captain as a person you can just about bet Karlsson has indicated that he won't be re-signing in Ottawa. It just doesn't make sense otherwise.
But alot of factors to go off, not everyone gets along so maybe he talked to a player that doesnt really like EK and exaggerated the thought.
Maybe he heard a rumour and the rumour was made up but lied about talking to the players etc etc
Disagree. Worked for Washington, LA, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston, Toronto
How are we quantifying success? Cup or bust? Because only one team a year can win that. It's a pretty narrow view of a "successful" rebuild.Can you also assemble a list of those who failed, which is pretty much the rest of the NHL? It worked for WSH...now after how many years? Didn't realize they were rebuilding? Your list is highly, highly suspect.
Let's play "One of these things is not like the others"...Disagree. Worked for Washington, LA, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston, Toronto
