Whoo boy.
Sorry, mods. I empathize and sympathize with what you're about to go through. Stay vigilant, fellas.
... this is a big day for this organization, it seems.

The rush to do this today ??
How many massively underachieving teams toss their gm an extension in February ? Just a circus!

Sorry but who was expecting us to have a different GM after this year? There was no chance he was being let go

A circus? Why? He wasn’t going to be fired so why wait until the end of the year?

Anselmi has nothing to do with hockey management. He has no say in that
Not really happy about this, Dorion has done a mediocre to poor job so far IMO
Not a good day for the Sens today.

He’s had two years and has gone to game 7 of ECF. His scouting ability alone is worth it

Things that Pierre Dorion is good at:
- Drafting
- Amateur scouting
- Player development (especially as it relates to our late round picks)
- hyping things
- being, generally, a pretty decent human being, from all outward appearances
- being from Orleans
Things that Pierre Dorion seem to not be good at:
- Pro Scouting
- being patient about re-signing players in the organization
- being conservative when trying to trade for players he likes
- Assessing players named "Alex Burrows".
- remaining unemotional in press conferences.
- buying good looking suits.
Things we are unsure about Pierre Dorion's skillset:
- How he fares when selling players instead of buying them
- How hard he will fight/ how strategic he will be in an Arbitration case
- How good he is at math.

The president, usually, hires the GM.
That is the line of succession in almost every single hockey club in the league.

If you think that’s actually the case then you don’t really understand how hockey management works. These guys know nothing about the actual on ice hocket

Anselmi was the President and CEO of the entire organization. He was Dorion's boss.

But they're still in charge of hiring and managing them. That was Anselmi's role as President and CEO.
Look at it this way, a CEO of a tech company may not know anything about software engineering, but he's still the guy who hires a VP of Engineering or CTO.
Also, do you think Melnyk knows anything about on ice hockey?
