Proposal: Fire Pierre Dorion... Unless?

[Agent Zub]

I would like he have his chance with a deep owner. If not I can see Darche, he was the finalist in every team that search a gm this year. Maybe Pierre like president. He deserve a post in this team

With new ownership, he's gone

Who would we want as a replacement?

Hunter, Futa, and Shero come to mind

I like what Montreal did. All new ideas and new culture - hope we go with a progressive group instead of a retread

He is cooked...and I can't wait.

He does? Why?

 

[Hale The Villain]

Dorion has probably survived to this point despite his track record of abject failure and incompetence because Melnyk was going through health issues and obviously had other things on his mind.

Can't wait till he's gone.

Plot twist: he doesn't

Thought of Pierre Dorion as President gives me chills

It would mean a wardrobe upgrade.

I cant unsee this

Yes, I envision a sale within 2 years for sure.

Will depend of the timeline of Ruddy's suit I suspect. Not that I have kept up with it at all.

Want to see what he could do with deep pockets? Dude had almost $10M buried in the minors from his own signings. The only thing that would be different is perhaps now that figure would be $20M in the minors.

If anything, it wouldn’t surprise me if Eugene somehow had a more positive impact on the club by being more tight with his money with this imbecile as a GM. It could have been a lot more crappy contracts.

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for new management, whether Melnyk's heirs or via a sale, to set the new direction of the team. The team needed a culture reset, but obviously it would have been better if through a sale and not Melnyk dying.

Hopefully it doesn't take that long as it would suck to be in limbo for an extended period.

You gotta think it's a buyer's market unless there are multiple prospective groups competing. If development of Lebreton is part of it you'd think with the increase in propert values that the deal there is 30-40% more lucrative now.

Weird thing with Melnyk is why he didn't just sell the team back around 2016. He was obviously cash poor, in poor health, the team was at a low ebb, he couldn't afford Lebreton. Why not just get out and keep your legacy intact rather than run the team into the ground and deal with the stress? Guess we'll never know, though I wonder how much will come out over the next couple of years now that Euge isn't around.

The thing I'll say is that I think he legit wanted to win, but burned too many bridges and hired the wrong people.

If the plan for Melnyk's estate is to sell the team, then I doubt Dorion goes anywhere until then. If and when a sale goes through however, I'd imagine Dorion won't be around too much longer. Whenever a sports team gets new ownership they usually like to make a statement quickly by bringing in new hires (at least if the team was struggling before the sale).

being such a big hockey fan, i would assume he was just hoping for a miracle cup run or something before he passed

Not to pile on here, but...

Cannot be emphasized enough.

Melnyk wanted a yes man that would stick to his internal cap.

But yes im ready for Pierre to be gone

You mean three piece?

 

[Silencio]

On a human level it was hard not to feel a little bad for Pierre today, his comments on Melnyk's passing obviously came from a genuinely heartfelt sense of loss. But yes, it's time to part ways and start fresh with a new management group.

I really hope PD is let go of as GM. Keep him on as a scout where his input can be taken into consideration, but I don't want this man involved in anymore deals.

 

[JungleBeat]

He must know his time as a GM is almost done.

 

[SensEnforcer]

First thing as new owner I'm doing as new owner is this:

Pierre, come in. Please sit down.

So we are going through every single trade and signing you have done and you can tell me why these happened.
