Since we're talking about former Devils coaches and former assistants......
HOW ABOUT THAT TRAVIS GREEN?
f***in stupid, dumb, idiot organization up there in Ottawa.
Them not even firing Dorion as they came through the door was a red flag. They waited until the league embarrassed them over something that Dorion did almost two years earlier.
The sale was approved in late Sep and Dorion was fired Nov 1st, it was pretty fast. Typically you “evaluate” first, even if you plan on firing them, so the f*** up gave them an excuse to cut to the chase.
Everyone assumed Steve Staios was getting the GM job and he did.
The guy who bought the Sens became the owner of the OHL Hamilton Bulldogs in 2015. Steve Staios was their GM/President the whole time until the Oilers hired him away in 2022.
Not going to defend the Greene hiring obviously, just grateful they took him out of the picture while we were still hiring.
