The position was described as someone to lend Dorion a hand. It was POHO in name only, hence nobody even accepting an interview. Dorion having full autonomy in picking a coach shows this.POHO would be above GM.
It's quite obvious nobody wants to work for Melnyk.

This whole rebuild as a fn joke.. starting with peanuts for Hoffman to appease Karlsson, then Karlsson, Stone, Duchene, Dzingel... now Melnyk wants to hire someone to help guide the rebuild ... Hockey people with any spine and integrity are going to look at that and shake their head. Gut the stars in their prime and start over with less than an expansion team. It would just make no sense and the only apparent reason beyond incredible stupidity is money.
I really hope we take a run at extending our RFA star player.
He really is the Village Bicycle of the NHL. Everybody gets a ride.I’d say popular is a more accurate term. He’s everyone’s favourite trading partner.
What's the old saying again? Over promise, under deliver? Maybe that's our team identity, might have to cross post this...It's an AGM job disguised as a POHO/Senior consultant role, there's no sugarcoating that at this point.
The sad part is, if the team never went public with their POHO search and instead hired another (hockey ops) AGM out of the blue the fan base might actually be happy (or realistically, less mad). But now it looks like another failed endeavor by EM.

A truly remarkable ability to shoot themselves in the foot.You know, if the team had just flat out said "we're looking for a couple of senior advisors to help Pierre out at the GM level", the fanbase would have probably seen it as a positive move. Hell, I've been saying Dorion needs experienced support in an advisory role for literally years.
But no. Like usual, they have to spin it into this massive PRESIDENT OF HOCKEY OPS! EVERYTHING IS GREAT! message, which of course blows up in their faces.
Typical of this regime. Why take what could have been a small win and make it into a huge embarrassment?

The thing is, and I've used this comparison for the past few years, the things this management decide on doing (interviews/promotional videos/marketing/customer support) wouldn't get through the first sitting of a Business 1000 group project.I'm actually impressed by this team's ability to snatch negative headlines out of decisions that any half-competent FO would have been able to spin as positive news.

"Ahhh, you mean you want to put out the promotional video we shot a month ago saying we are doing better than pundits predicted right now? You realise we are last in the class atm correct? That doesn't make us look very sane. Yeah, scrap that the prof will roast us."
"You want to drop rubber exercise balls on the audience from the ceiling of the building? That doesn't seem like a smart idea, scrap that"
Dorion is a well respected GM.
Yes, they respect based on how easy they can rob him.
Where do we start?Any examples?
