Not sure, why is that?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Did Dorion say Staios reports to him?

 

[Ghost of Jody Hull]

Did Dorion say Staios reports to him?

“I’m the boss.”

 

[Silencio]

Did Dorion say Staios reports to him?

"PIERRE DORION MAKES ALL HOCKEY DECISIONS. WE'RE A TEAM."

 

[Golden_Jet]

Did Dorion say Staios reports to him?

JR said the opposite, not sure why Staios would report to PD.

You catch on... eventually. Remedial classes are available

wut haha. More context please. He may not last the weekend.

There were questions about how the organization chart would flow with McGuire in the picture, but Dorion made it clear he was ultimately in charge of all hockey decisions. “He'll be very present in everything that we do as far as hockey, but it was made very clear to me that he reports to me.”

“In hockey, you can never accumulate too much talent. Having Steve and Pierre leading our hockey department gives us a formidable team.” Is this just a nice thing to say or is Pierre out of hot water?

Some fans have selective amnesia, funny how they tend to forget all those amazing extensions PD did!!! Stu, Tkachuk, Sandy, all long term and under $9M beautiful!!!

Both statements can be true.

Oh so that was in regards to Mcguire...? Why would that be in question.

Its no longer in question but it was a question when he was hired and reported on and made Very Clear by Mr. Dorion who was in charge

Called it last June when everyone thought Staios was replacing Dorion as GM:

Management - GM Pierre Dorion/Front Office Thread - Part IX [Mod Warning in post 1)

The End is Nigh!

This is great news. I've long argued we needed a POHO. Takes some of the annoying responsibilities and press conference stuff from Dorion, and allows him to focus on being the GM.

Yes please.

May I have some milk to go with it too? -> \_/

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

POHO def has the 'hammer' due to being the higher position. The question is will Staois use it

Did any of the former Senators POHO have the “hammer” in the past?

And proves what I said lol.

Ottawa has never had a President of Hockey Operations. The highest level of authority has always been GM, who dealt directly with the owner (Muckler, Murray, Dorion).

This will be a new setup for the org.

We’ve only had “Presidents” who’s purview was the business side (Mlakar, Leeder, Leblanc).

Staios isn’t coming in to sell corporate packages or meet with the NCC. That’s Leeder. His only focus will be hockey.

Like Gorton in Montreal or Rutherford in Vancouver.

Dorion will continue doing a lot of the work, but Staios is now the decision maker. The buck stops with him for hockey matters. He’ll have a philosophy and vision of some kind, which clearly aligns with Andlauer’s at this point, and will direct Dorion to carry out that vision.

How well Dorion executes Staios’ vision will determine how long he’s in his role.

Time to change that username to "BigDorionFan" me thinks.

 

[Sun God Nika]

This is a demotion for Dorion. Amazing .

I mean Dorion has already lasted more than 3 hours under Staios. I think at this point we can all, even all the irrational Dorion haters, reasonably say that he's here for the long haul.

Give the man a BOX of cookies. Girl Guide mint ones!!
