praise alfie

Man if he could become our Jerry West...

 

[Ouroboros]

He's just biding his time until Ken Holland retires.

I would be shocked if he goes back to Detroit.

Nicely done.

 

[TB1299]

I don't like the one year deals. I think he's just trying to figure out his role.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I'm glad he'll be around. Good influence.

 

[Larionov]

I get the sense that Alfie still isn't sure what he wants to do in hockey now that he is done as a player. Does he want to invest the time to become a GM? Does he want to move into coaching and player development? Is he staying in Canada, or heading back to Sweden? I think he's still finding his way, which is why the one year deal is in place...

I think it is obvious Alfie is pegged as the next GM, if Murray "stepped down" a year or two later I think the job was his.

I agree with this.

I say within a few years he becomes assistant-GM, and within the next 5 or so years becomes our own Stevie Y.

Greatest senior advisor of hockey operations in franchise history.

That's pretty mean to Bryan Murray.

 

[Samboni]

Jack of all trades, master of none. Maybe they grooming him for vice president of hockey operations.

 

[BonkTastic]

I love the vagueness of Alfredsson's job title.

Alfie's like that guy you knew in university who went into his 2nd year of undergrad and still hadn't declared a major, haha.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

It's definitely a step up from Assistant to the Regional Manager.

 

[maclean]

which is why the one year deal is in place...

Plus he's been burned by multi-year deals with the Sens in the past

He might have to wait a while if Dorion does a good enough job.

 

[Zedrow]

The interesting thing is, after reading the press release I expect King K to break a few of his records with the Sens.

 

[Back in Black]

He's just biding his time until Ken Holland retires.

Wouldn't surprise me. He's jumped ship once!

 

[tony d]

Good to see this, glad Alfie got to keep a role with the team.

"Senior Advisor of Hockey Operations"

Wow! Alfredsson is a quick study.

It took Bryan Murray years to finally get that title!

 

[Cat Herder]

It's definitely a step up from Assistant to the Regional Manager.

LOL ... Bears.. Beats
