Confirmed with Link: Pierre Dorion Scheduled To Speak (11am, Sept. 23rd)

[Gil Gunderson]

That’s not allowed until October 9th.

They can announce that they’ve reached a verbal agreement, like LA and Arizona did with Doughty and OEL before a July 1st. I’d be shocked if they did it this early though.

I imagine the Tkachuks are gonna drag this one out.

Reaffirming FYOUS?

Pretty sure he is announcing he has started a tik tok channel.

I wouldn’t say it’s dragging it out to wait. I think he should wait a year regardless. He could have a better year statistically.

Lots of humorous posts in here, but I think this one wins.

Hopefully he'll provide an update on the search for President of Hockey OPs

What if he ADDED that role to his portfolio?

Melnyk paying one salary to TWO positions? Seems like a win for him.

That'd certainly show Julie Turris what's what.

 

[Spartachat]

My best guess is the GM will announce Brady Tkachuk has been signed to a long term contract 8 year 60 million dollar deal..

The cheap fans need to spend more for that to happen.

 

[TheDebater]

If it is true he has not spoken since June then this is probably an update to answer some questions on how the team is planning to move forward for the following season. He will definitely talk about the draft and probably drop zero hints about who he wants but it should be interesting nonetheless.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Maybe he's moving on? Odd way to announce it, but you never know I guess.

Honestly we'd be f***ed if that's the case. No one would want the job and Melnyk would take over lol.

Well he is the only member of Melnyk’s staff over the last three years that hasn’t quit yet.

 

[senswon]

Hopefully he has some info pertaining to
A. How this is gonna work? Is canada the bubble and all the teams are playing here?
B. Preseason? Exhibition games? December?
C. Tiki tok channel

I actually wish Dorion wouldn't speak at all to the media until post draft.

I'm always worried when he opens his mouth

He has been in media training school for three months.

Also probably doesn't help that he was likely looking up to Bryan Murray who wasn't shy to show his hand either.

Same, but I feel like he's gotten better at keeping things quiet over the past while.

Knowing Melnyk, I think you have the numbers crossed. 60 year 8 million.

We're a MEME is more like it, amirite?

 

[Tuna99]

Be good to hear from him, excitement growing, update needed.

just don’t want any ‘Melnyck is such a great owner’ or ‘Ottawa is lucky to have the NHL’ talk - don’t need a hype guy, just want a GM

 

[Icelevel]

Soooooo excited!!!!!!!!

 

[Taluss]

Curious if he will announce anything about contract extensions

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

My man has been social distancing from the media for all of 2020.
