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

[swiftwin]

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.

What worked out well was the fact that Dorion chose to draft Tkachuk instead of Zadina like everyone wanted.

Trent Mann and the scouts wanted Zadina? Link?

Sure. Stumbling still has you moving forward.

Drafting is never a sure thing, we took Tkachuk over Zadina, but also Brown over McAvoy or Chychrun.

We took Sanderson over Drysdale, but Boucher over Wyatt Johnson, Corinato, Walstead, Othman, Lucious Knies, or Sillinger.

I don't think everything Dorion did was bad, but some of the things he did were really bad, like the Murray signing, the Dadonov trade (in retrospect), trading up for Brown,

Nope he's talking about Sens fans wanting Zadina.

Zero proof that Dorion ran the draft during his tenure.

He had his hands full given there was no one else in management to handle front office duties.

In fact he's said himself that Mann was in charge of the draft.

Andlauer certainly not letting Dorion off the hook anywhere

Many of the things happening could have been avoided, in his words.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

can we lock this thread and never talk about dorion ever again now

 

[Icelevel]

Good job so far. Keep it up. No more bs

 

[BondraTime]

73 page report. Exhaustive, not just a “Vegas is upset” that’s been thrown around here.

 

[HSF]

YESSSSSSSSSS

 

[BondraTime]

Andlauer -

“Sens were downright negligent. Not that complicated.”

Andlauer -

Explain it to us like we're 5, or Pierre Dorion

 

[Sensinitis]

Ciao, it was (not) nice knowing ya!

 

[DrEasy]

Purely looking at Dorion's legacy in hindsight; in no particular order:

Names that trigger: Ziba, Condon, Duchene/Turris/Byram, Gustavsson, Talbot, Murray, Stepan, Stone, Duclair, Gudbransson/Reilly/Hainsey/etc., Del Zotto, Colin White, Mann Brothers, DeBrincat, Burrows, Oduya, Dadonov, Zaitsev, Tyler Boucher/Lassi/JBD/L. Brown

Happy dance: Zub, Tkachuk, Sanderson, Karlsson's returns (Norris/Pinto/3OA lottery pick), Greig, Stutzle's contract, C. Brown

I'm probably missing plenty of names.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

I just watched the whole press conference. This all sucks, but how refreshing to have a humble thoughtful owner committing appropriate transparency and addressing issues head on, and a GM that looks and sounds professional. It doesn’t feel Sens. It’s the new Sens, it feels good.

 

[Big Muddy]

can we lock this thread and never talk about dorion ever again now

I was wondering if this thread was necessary now myself.

 

[redbrick98]

Wouldn't mind Doug wilson as GM

From Ottawa too

This quote is google translated so it may not be perfect:

According to Renaud Lavoie, just about everyone across the NHL expects to see Darche land in Ottawa. We feel that much like it was the case with Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton, Darche's bond with Andlauer is really strong.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Darch being a director of hockey ops and Assistant GM of a team that won 2 Cups and 3 finals.

Yeah give me that guy then.
