Senators fire Pierre Dorion

[TheYardMachine]

Poor sens fans if they end up with Chiarelli

I wonder if the new GM will blow it up and rebuild the Sens properly

Every player is getting paid but the team can't make the playoffs

 

[Golden_Jet]

Roy, GM or coach doesn't matter, just do it.

Vote neither

 

[Hale The Villain]

About half a decade too late but this still the best day for the Sens in awhile, even if we lost a 1st today

 

[EXTRAS]

Didn't he construct a pretty good team? Ottawa looks like a pretty great young team with lots of its guys locked up long term. Anyway, as a Canucks fan I hope they hire benning so Ottawa can experience what a truly poor gm is like.

DJ Smith is probably next. The Melnyk regime was probably the most incompetent in recent history. Dorion was gonna have to eat the sin of it probably no matter what. Like I'm not sure even Dadanov was all his fault. Good luck to him

Some good draft selections.
Signed some great contracts.
Certainly leaves the team in good shape for next guy.
More than can you can say about
Bergevin
Hextall
Fletcher
Treviling

New owner had some time since he took over and Dorion is not going to be his guy.
Smith will be next to go.

Constructing a good team on paper isn't enough when you're loyal to arguably the worst head coach in NHL history.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Jim Benning of the east
Cap mismanagement
Violating CBA rules
Got blue chip prospects and young star players by unintentionally sucking

"We're no longer a team"

 

[Gil Gunderson]

That's funny, I had the same thought about Treliving when he was hired.

Chiarelli sucks, but I think Treliving might be the only current GM that's worse than him.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Get Bergevin in there

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Man, Chiarelli coming in and young talent to trade aw…I mean “work with”.

Should be a good show.

How did they get though young players again?

Oh right, sucking by accident

 

[Frenchy]

come on, Chiarelli ? for real ? that must be a joke.

 

[sennysensen]

The world routinely makes you wonder how incompetent people manage to get themselves in leadership positions so often

It's the Peter Principle.

Or in this case, the Principe de Pierre.

Pierre was a very good director of scouting, was promoted to a higher position he struggled with. Happens all the time, especially in government.

Did Ryan Reynolds fire him?

 

[tshack]

Nah that's gotta be a joke

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Ottawa's francophones are definitely saying "Je regrette Dorion".

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

But I thought they were a team?

1. Traded top 10 pick for Debrincat.
2. Traded Debrincat for late 1st +.
3. Formenton (likely) shunned from the league for his Hockey Canada scandal involvement.
4. Pinto suspended for gambling.
5. Stripped of 1st for Vegas/Dadonov debacle.
6. Dorion fired.
7. Chiarelli hired.

One for each reaction:
