It won't be Julien. He's getting old, and his last couple stints in the NHL didn't go well. It makes less sense than bringing back Jacques Martin.

I don't mind Chiarelli as an AGM. I wouldn't want him to be GM, but that won't happen.

I could see Julien for a year or two to get things going in the right direction, with a plan to move it to one of the new assistant coaches (someone Andlauer knows from his other teams?).
 
Peter Chirelli / Claude Julien rumoured for a while. Talks about moving to town and buying a house, being seen at CTC, etc. Who knows if any of it's true.
So Pinto gets a 41 game suspension, we forfeit a 1RP for the Dadonov trade and Chiarelli is hired to replace Dorion all on the same day? Good Lord. Save some news for the rest of the season.

I could see Chiarelli coming in as an "interim" GM/consultant, similar to what Cliff Fletcher did in Toronto years ago, while a long-term replacement for PD waits until the summer.

They'd probably want someone who has relationships with other GMs, and Staois probably doesn't have those yet.

May as well drop the Hockey Canada report today or tomorrow.
 
Sports betting? Straight to jail.
Getting caught sports betting? Also, straight to jail.

So in two days, we've had an ass kicking by Buffalo, a coach that doesn't tell his goalie that he's getting pulled, a suspension that was rescinded, a young player getting caught betting on his coach getting fired, and some rumors about losing a first rounder.

This organization is A+.

Oh shit, Martian saying there might be more.

This is a bit odd. To my understanding, he's not signed? How can he be suspended?

The suspension is from start of this season. So he's not signed, he's not playing, yet his suspension games have already been clicking?

Andy why can't players bet on other sports? It's literally a legal thing now in many places and heavily advertised everywhere including during NHL games and tv broadcasts.
Well, apparently the league told the team not to sign him when the investigation ramped up this summer, so my understanding is he'd have been signed if not for the league stepping in.

The suspension and presumably all the other details were apparently negotiated between the team, league and player, hense why Pinto isn't appealing.
 
His agent wants him to get paid as much as possible do you want to know why? Because His agent gets 10% of what he signs for.

I don't think I implied anything contrary to that.

That Martian guy said Dorion is being relieved of his duties as GM

Won't happen. It will turn out that the name on the contract to purchase the team was Andlauer, but it was Pierre Andlauer because Pierre changed his last name to Andlauer and bought the team. He is here forever, along with Melnyk's ghost, and those Coldplay CDs.

Chiarelli is not a bad choice as GM at all so long as they intend to ask him what he would do and then do the exact opposite of that.

Listening to 32 thoughts podcast right now.

Friedman says Pinto was extremely appreciative of how Dorion was able to keep the whole situation under wraps, and may sign a quick small contract in return.

Does he like Peter Chiarelli and would he do the same favor for him?
