Management POHO Staios/GM D̶o̶r̶i̶o̶n̶/Front Office Thread - Part X [Mod Warning in post 1)

It'll get locked. They'll want us to delay our celebration because their feelings will be hurt.

It won't. This is happening (it sounds like). Just put a rumour in the title.

Yzerman and Sakic were at one time rookie gms too. the problem is equating rookie gms with Dorion.

But they had some management experience before stepping into the GM role.

 

[Silencio]

If shit goes sideways with Alfie at the helm, that's a most uncomfortable discussion though.

That's true, but that didn't stop Colorado from giving Joe Sakic the top job

Who the f*** are you talking about? This is like the 3rd or 4th post you've made saying the same thing.

Yeah but with Alfie, firing slappers at opposing GMs is a powerful negotiation tactic

Nice try.

I don't dance often, but I am doing one now at my desk. This team will be much better off without him at the helm anymore.

The Melnyk era is officially sealed and left in the rear view. Good riddance.

Alfredsson has had some expeirence too, not to mention he was an NHLPA leader as well as the leader of an organization as a player. and obviously knows hockey at a deep level.

he will have people to do the paper work, he just needs to make hockey decisions.

 

[Mr Kot]

congrats sens fans! Hoewever, you must now pray to jesus that chiarelli isnt the replacement

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Not even the smallest little bit sorry.

What's currently the penalty for something like this, 3rd round pick or do we need to acquire a few firsts to be able for proper punishment?

It works best if Neidermayer is GM of the Ducks.

Just like Dorion had people do the paper work, he just needed to make the hockey/scouting decisions?

Look at where that got us...

please don't compare dorion and alfredsson when it comes to understanding of hockey and personal integrity.

I don't know. I'm assuming like $500,000/year range.

That’s a lot of pizza

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

In a lot of ways, he stumbled in to the team we have today. I won't pretend the squad doesn't have a lot of promise, but it could have been so much more.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Bowness to be interim GM is my guess.

Stumbled? He built it from the ground up. There hasn't been a single player from before Dorion in a long time.

 

[BankStreetParade]

Oh I get it. You're like a child being ignored. You keep repeating yourself because you want everyone to hear your "hilarious" joke and give you affirmation for it. Nevermind, I'll leave you be.

I’m good with that.

Scorched earth rebuild leads to many good pieces. Some of what happened is entirely his doing while much of it is just time playing out. It could have been so much more had he not made so many unforced errors. Like I said, the team holds promise, he did some good things, but overall I'm not impressed with his body of work.

Gonna go ahead and suggest that Alfie has forgotten more about hockey than Dorion will ever know.

 

[TonySoprano11]

Everyone needs to relax. We're not making a Western here.

Well, he was pretty fortunate that SJ utterly collapsed to get us Stützle.

His trade of Turris for Duchene was a bit of a disaster costing us a high 1st (eventually). It's quite possible without that trade we wouldn't have had the initial collapse and wouldn't have drafted Tkachuk

That's just two examples where things worked out pretty well, just arguably not exactly in the way Dorion was initially hoping for.
