I for one like the cut of his jib!

Long may his big jib draw

Gotta imagine that some candidates may not want the job due to how tough it will be to fill Dorion's shows.

 

[Sensinitis]

Now that Staios my Greek brotha from another motha is also in charge of the team's DTD, how short has DJ's leash finally become?

Staios gave the coaching staff a public vote of confidence today, although we all know he didn't really have a choice to do so from a human relations/media image pov.

By end of November, if the team is below .500 or just around that mark, you have to think the coaching staff is erased. I think any kind of 3-4 game losing slump will be all the incentive Staios needs to move on from this staff, similar to this Daddy penalty being a perfect excuse to fire Dorion even though there were 1000 more reasons.

I really hope Julien is our guy. Hopefully he can emulate the effect Martin had on those early 2000s Sens teams. Hoping he's healthy as well and still willing to coach.

I feel sorry for the next GM already,

Why? The next GM would benefit from a properly structured and funded front office, a reasonable and wealthy owner, a team on the rise with still relatively low expectations given recent performance, and an extremely low bar set by the predecessor. A dream job actually.

Serevelli says the names to look out for are Chiarelli, Darche and.....Spezza.

Half this place will blow a gasket with Chia or Spezza

Any chance for both Darche and Spezza?

Wow, I think Spezza will eventually get a gig as a GM somewhere, but it seems a bit early yet.

 

[ijif]

pls no chiarelli

No matter who gets hired, half of this forum will be pissed off that “their” guy wasn’t hired. The bashing will continue until the new guy gets fired… and the cycle repeats itself.

[BondraTime]

Antoine looks quite good in Quebec this year

 

[ottawagm]

I like Darche or anyone else that is new, but we need someone with experience in the mix as well.

Whether that's Chiarelli as a VP of Hockey Ops, or someone else, we really can't have a brand new GM without guard rails.

 

[Mingus Dew]

Would absolutely love Spezza. Dude is gonna be a great GM somewhere.

As opposed to what we have now, which is a guy with no GM or POHO experience at the NHL level serving both roles?

 

[Icelevel]

pls no chiarelli

At least he’s working

Would absolutely love Spezza. Dude is gonna be a great GM somewhere.

hmmmm. Not sure about spezzy. Good luck to him but I think it’s best if we look elsewhere. Let the Toronto boy have fun with his buddy in Pitt.

They are now DJ Smith bots.

Spezza will be the next GM of the Penguins. Dubas will do the unpopular work if they continue to suck and give Spezza a blank slate to rebuild.

I’m all in on Darche

 

[ottawagm]

Yes, which is why I think they bring in someone with experience soon, even if they are not filling the GM role.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

A lot of touchy nerve endings as we roll into a new chapter in the front office. I wish Staios the best wearing this new hat. I hope he does a deep dive into the availability of quality candidates and makes the right choice to work with him and guide the Sens towards success in the future.
We know more changes and improvements to the front office are coming.

 

[DJB]

I like Spezza but he’s not ready and this team needs a veteran GM

I’m going to keep pounding the table for Darche

 

[StoicSensFan]

(hopefully)

 

[operasen]

We should go to the Darche side no issues
