You assumed I was talking about the players… I was not.Read the post I’m responding to, talking about changing the GM and bringing in an entire new staff, but the hiring cycle being over and us not being able to bring in who we want. Pretty self explanatory. Not my fault Count couldn’t use context before posting assuming I’m talking about the players in a conversation completely about the structure of management and lack of new hires.
Andlauer wants to get his identity on the team. He wants his people in charge. We were unable to do that this summer because of the sale not being completed on time. That will, barring a collapse, happen this coming summer. The team as of now has the same oversight as the previous regime. Right now, there isn’t a single Andlauer hired employee in the Sens Org. Our owners identity isn’t imprinted yet, we will have to wait because of the timing of the sale.
We’re in the GM/Front office thread, in a conversation about brining in a whole new set of front office employees at the highest levels. An entirely new identity and structure to the management of the Sens.
NHL Pipeline Rankings: Corey Pronman's top prospects and under-23 players for every team
An in-depth look at the NHL's future with a ranking of every team's under-23 core.theathletic.com
So much for the "we have no prospects" narrative...
This list doesn't even count Tkachuk, Norris and Batherson, who barely missed the cut...
Why do people keep trying to exclude Sanderson and Stutzle??? It's a GOOD THING that our prospects are so good that they graduate to the NHL before other prospects.The high ranking is due to Stutzle and Sanderson.
The prospect pool is bottom 3rd of the league at the moment. That may even be a bit generous.
With the young NHL talent on the Sens roster the future is bright. Some of the current prospect crop just needs to provide cheap depth to compliment the high-end young core.
People exclude them from discussions about prospects because they aren't prospects, seems pretty straight forward.Why do people keep trying to exclude Sanderson and Stutzle??? It's a GOOD THING that our prospects are so good that they graduate to the NHL before other prospects.

"The only question left on Stützle is whether he’s a long-term center or wing but he has so much ability I think he ends up in the middle".
This is somewhat better than the guy writing for THN who said the Sens have a massive hole at center because Drake Batherson hasn't panned out down the middle.When Corey Pronman writes something like:
You have to take everything else he writes with a massive grain of salt. ChatGPT could do as good a job.

That’s why it’s a U23 list.I never said it was a bad thing. Stutzle and Sanderson are clearly high-end young players that will define this iteration of the Sens. If they push for a cup, those two studs will be the driving force.
What they aren't, is prospects. The current prospect pool is comprised of potential solid depth players and longshots.
It doesn't need to be a top-5 pool with the young NHL talent the Sens have. It is most certainly a bottom 3rd of the league prospect pool though.
Last month, NHL Radio on Sirius-XM rated each teams' GM. The segment lasted 15 minutes and I took a few notes. Don't shoot the messenger LOL.
It’s now or never for PD. The team lost games last year that they should have won which killed the season. Felt that PD may be the victim of excess criticism. Don’t see a lot of bad moves. Has built a pretty good hockey club. Lots to like about Ottawa. Has operated under difficult circumstances. He has taken some risks, and some haven’t paid off. The team has potential. It’s up to the players and coaches now to win hockey games. He has built a great top 6, then Josh Norish went down and Formenton didn’t play. Detroit, Buffalo, and Ottawa has the ability to get into the playoffs. All the parts are there to make the playoffs. The Tim Stutzle extension was a tremendous contract. The Jakob Chychrun trade was good – didn’t have to give up a lot and the contract is decent. Credit given on drafting Jake Sanderson. At the time it was risky passing on Drysdale, but Sanderson looked like a beast last year. Trading for Giroux was a good move. The Debrincat trades were tricky, he paid a bit more for only a year’s play. One area where PD can be criticized is Goaltending. The Matt Murray trade was a disaster. No one has been giving term to goalies and somehow PD gave 5 years to Korpisalo. Ottawa needs a goalie that can make saves. Ottawa hasn’t had a First Round pick in the last two drafts, but the team still looks very good. There is more good than bad, but the team hasn’t made the playoffs. They should make the playoffs this year if the team stays healthy. If the defence stays healthy and if Sanderson and Branstrom continue to progress, they the defence is formidable. Final grade B-/C.

Did Dorion ever play hockey at a meaningful level? He's not in hockeydb as far as I can tell.
It's the most impressive feat of singular scouting focus and falling upwards in human history. Took his marching orders from the Canadiens and Bryan Murray, rode the bus for years and years and parlayed that into a NHL GM job by pure happenstance. He has a horseshoe up his ass for sure. He doesn't have any other perceivable talents IMO.Did Dorion ever play hockey at a meaningful level? He's not in hockeydb as far as I can tell.
