Management GM Pierre Dorion/Front Office Thread - Part VII

[umma gumma]

Sens need to look at the masterful job done in Toronto. Get a high draft pick and build around him

I'd rather build something that can get past the 1st round.

 

[SPF6ty9]

Pierre will not get a GM job anywhere again, I am wiling to personally wager my life savings on it. He will likely get executive roles but not GM.

Would not be surprised if Pierre was made General Manager of Gabriel's Pizza on St. Joseph. You're playing a dangerous game here!

Too high profile a location for him. Maybe in some craphole small town like Rockland or Hawkesbury he could manage a Gabriel's but in Orleans he'd be Asst GM at best.

Assen na yo

Hey man, the Pizza game is strong is Hawkesbury. Not for the faint of heart.

 

[SENATOR]

In Orleans it is a Papa John's pizza craze. Opened a new store with a management from hell. They take all the orders they can and deliver sometime pizzas 3 hours later. I think we should send Dorion to fix them.

Toronto did some good first round drafting, but they messed up with their ufa signings and handing out contracts that weren't earned. We've already done that with Brady by making him higher paid then Chabot. Might as well try the rest of Toronto's strategy of drafting first rounders that are high impact skill wise but sign em appropriately

Elaborate please. I am always interested to hear about the small town pizza scene.

Time stamp for the Wallace segment?

Perhaps.

But if he did manage Gabriel's in Orleans, I would immediately stop buying pizza there as the recipe and ingredients would probably make it taste like shit!

 

[Daffy]

Dorion deserves to be ripped, but I can't stand Wallace either

You mean Toronto is the first and only team to apply this concept? No one else ever thought of drafting first rounders that high impact skill wise?

You only need to get past the first round once to be recognized as a team that can get by the first round.
That being said. We don’t have the money the leafs do so moot point

Not sure what the Leafs have accomplished to be considered at model we should follow. There are better examples. Successful ones.

The leafs will very likely one day get pst the first round. And then the second.

 

[Cosmix]

We’ll need a new gm soon

We have needed one ever since Murray left.

Point still stands. There are better examples.

 

[Cosmix]

Didnt feel that way from the outside looking in. Heatkey, Alfie, Soezza - how he butted heads with Hasek and that big red headed Dman who hates everyone. He didn’t meet a single NHL coach in Ottawa that he liked.
Murray nostalgia in this town is real - his teams played brutal hockey and he was given a Cup finalist and turned it into a franchise that struggled for respectability. And then recommended Pierre Dorion for the job. He also was coaching a Cup finalist and got the GM fired - which was a huge mistake

and he started the “Mr. Melnyck” thing which seemed childish

I agree that some of this is true.

 

[Cosmix]

If and when PD gets fired do you think other teams would even consider him for GM vacancies when they come up?

My point is that he doesn't have a solid reputation in this role as we know and the Sens are paying a huge price in their growth and development as a result!

No, no other NHL team will consider or hire Dorion as a GM.

I mean our team has trouble with that, so it'd be nice if they did

 

[Agent Zub]

Sure the Leafs haven't found playoff success but they can basically coast to the playoffs and to 100 point seasons. All they need is tweaking to further develop in the playoffs.

Contrast that to Dorions Model of the Senators who are so low in skill that just staying out of the bottom 5/10 is a huge challenge.

Why would you want to follow Toronto's example and not that of a team that has enjoyed some playoff success? Its all I'm getting at. Toronto have a lot to prove still. It doesn't matter what they may do, they haven't done it. Other teams have.
