Proposal: Fire Pierre Dorion... Unless?

[TheDebater]

I don’t see how anything besides MDZ and Zaitsev getting shipped out would make this move even remotely decent.

Tierney is off the books either way, maybe he gets traded for something. Josh Brown could be gone, if Del Zotto is traded, his $2 million + which is currently sitting in Belleville can be used here in Ottawa. Sanford is gone, Ennis gone, and Zaitsev gone would be a miracle but that shedding that contract itself will make much needed room on the blueline for real help.

A 3rd round pick is still too high, but asset management aside, the money when all is said and done will not be an issue.

If Dorion can get rid of two of brown, MDZ and Zaitsev without losing more picks or taking back bad contracts . . . that would be the only reasonable explanation for why he would spend a third to bring in another terribly mediocre defenseman.

Sorry, it doesn’t matter what happens to Brown, Tierney, or Sanford. You cannot be a budget team and have 10 mil locked up in bottom pairing d-men.

 

[SensBrawler]

His contract doesn't end until 2025. I doubt Melnyk is gonna fire him anytime soon.

I agree but this is not set in stone yet? My point is the events of today are not indicative of the team we ice next season...it might be, but alot can change between now and next season and I simply believe Dorion has had enough of Zaitsev and Josh Brown.

And I can say that with confidence because Dorion has never been shy about admitting his bad trades by either getting rid of players he just brought in, (Stepan, Gudbranson, Dadonov) or burying them in the minors of need be (Murray and Del Zotto).

If he was able to get rid of Zaitsev or Brown it would have probably been done by now.

His contract is no where near as costly to Melnyk as some of the moves he is making.

 

[HF Reader]

I would drink my own piss if he gets fired this year.

Put it in the fridge first. I've gone down your route.

 

[Yultron]

how has he done since he inherited that team? He gets some credit as AMG, but he wasnt the architect of that team.

im not defending Dorian . I know he is an awful GM. I’m just saying he hasn’t missed the playoffs every single season .

And I agree he should be fired

 

[Agent Zub]

That was a group project that Dorian took credit for.

That was basically Karlsson doing all the work and everyone else free loading.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Sure, but hire who? That’s the question that scares me

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Surely even Melnyk must be getting annoyed at Dorion right? He keeps spending Eugene's money on do-nothing players.

 

[SensFactor]

I don't even know what to say anymore....Dorion just keeps making brutal trades.. GMs from other teams look at their cellphones and probably grin ear to ear when he calls

 

[milkbag]

Dorion will have a job for as long as Melnyk owns this team. He's the perfect spineless yes-man that's found himself in way over his head and will do anything for Melnyk to keep what is undoubtedly his one-and-done stint as an NHL GM.

He won't be fired and I'm willing to put money on it.

 

[branch]

Oh my god he is so f***ing STUPID

 

[HSF]

LMAOOOO

man what a move. Also helping toronto get Gio

 

[Samboni]

So if Dorion gets fired, he’ll be replaced with another cheap, inexperienced guy and nothing will improve.

The Sens can’t afford a quality GM.

That's what you call being a penny wise and a pound foolish.

Assen na yo!

 

[guyzeur]

Yes, adding over 3 mil to your bottom pairing and failing to get anything done because of a limited budget in the off-season is a massive straw.

I'm sure they see him as a top 4

ottawa was 5 wins away from winning the Stanley Cup his 1st season when Chris Kunitz scored the game 7 winner in double OT in 2017 .

Team was inherited from Murray. Dorion did his famous Zibanejad for Brassard trade .. we see how that has turned out and added a few TDL depth pieces.
Karlsson was on another planet.

Then ... Dorion's work really started and here we are today.

At this point it doesn’t matter. Nobody’s asking for a quality GM. They’ll be happy with a GM not named Pierre.

You better get over it, being a Sens' fans is never good for your sanity.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

He seems to really have a handle on the position

I am inching closer and closer to being disgusted with my HF handle and avatar
