Management UPDATE: Steve Staios GM and POHO, Dave Poulin Senior VP of Hockey Operations

[Wallet Inspector]

Staois has been awful so far. Not sure how people can blame Dorion for these terrible trades and signings.

I wish we hired a good general manager, seeing Staois in action makes me have 0 faith in his coaching hire as well.

Ullmark trade was great.

Amadio and Perron signings were good.

Tarasenko, Joseph and Chychrun trades were bad.

 

[Billy Bridges]

Lazy GMing. Staois couldn't even be bothered to share links to hfboard poster opinions on Chychrun and Joseph to drive up their value.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Gave us a taste of what it's like to have a good GM with the Ullmark trade. Then immediately brings out his inner Dorion.

The life of a Senators fan.

I'd wait for the games to be played before comparing him to Dorion.

Legit question for Sens fans: Has Andlauer/Staios/Poulin started to make any changes to the Hockey Ops/Player Development staff? Genuinely curious to see what kind of changes are going to be made, going forward.

Yes. Our pro staff has been changed including a new director of pro scouting. We have also invested in a full time analytics guy for the first team.

Rome wasnt built in a day, but we went from absolutely nothing to having something.

Tought to criticize the Tarasenko deal considering he gave 1 and only 1 destination he was willing to go to. Getting 2 3rds in hindsight was actually pretty solid.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Tick tock asshole. You cleared the money, I want to see a Pinto signing immediately.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Fifteen years of unparalleled success

 

[CallSaul]

So far this summer:

In - Ullmark, Perron, Jensen, Amadio, Gregor
Out - Korpisalo, Chychrun, Joseph, Kelly, Brannstrom

We'll have a more experienced, more serious supporting cast around the core, and much better goaltending.

I like it.

Ullmark -A
Tarasenko- A
Chychrun- C
Joseph- F

Ullmark trade was great.

Amadio and Perron signings were good.

Tarasenko, Joseph and Chychrun trades were bad.

If we give up another first and lose Ullmark for nothing, it ends up pretty terrible. If we end up with a quality signed starter, it's great value, obviously.

I think Perron is washed and can't skate anymore, I don't like that one. Amadio is good and yes all other trades have been brutal.

I take back the good I've said about Staios. Dorion was utter dog shit, Staiosis just regular shit. Even if he's improving certain areas (D, Goalie), he's pissing away assets and making us worse in other areas.

Chef Staios' eggs on July 1

 

[SpezDispenser]

Ullmark -A
Tarasenko- A
Chychrun- C
Joseph- F

What if Joseph was moved to sign Pinto?

 

[Icelevel]

Chychrun + Joseph for Jensen?????

W.T.F?

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Chychrun + Joseph for Jensen?????

W.T.F?

...and the space to sign Pinto and potentially a bottom pair dman or another bottom 6 forward.

 

[Icelevel]

Ullmark trade - A
Chychrun trade - C
Joseph trade - F

Value wise I give the Ullmark trade a B

Logan Thompson was traded for two 3rd rounders.

I like it.

Kastelic and Tarasenko should be added if youre going to be fair. And first round pick (Dean Letourneau/other)

Ullmark is more proven than Thompson and Korpisalo was able to be dumped as part of it. Obviously VGS would not have considered that albatross coming back, so that would have meant Thompson would have likely cost the 2 x 3rds, plus a 1st or so to dump Korpse separately. A worse deal than giving up the 1st and Kastelic.

Logan Thompson is closer to Anton Forsberg than he is to Linus Ullmark.

Not true. playoff performance is important.
Overall Thompson might be the better goalie next year and beyond.

 

[CallSaul]

Not true.

He's 27 and has played 107 career games mostly in a backup role, and got traded to a team where he'll play 35-40 games.

Ullmark has won a Vezina.

He played 46 games last year. Ullmark played 40.

Whatever. Doesn’t matter.

Korpisalo played 55 last year.

Ullmark is a significantly better goalie than Thompson.
