People in hockey tend to have a soft spot for the players who used to play for them on other teams. Some of the current NHL players who were part of the Staios era in Hamilton:

Mackenzie Entwistle
Arthur Kaliyev
Robert Thomas
Riley Stillman
Connor McMichael
Jan Jenik
Mason McTavish
Arber Xhekaj

Maybe some are future Ottawa Senators.

Next up is a replacement for Trent Mann? Alfie as VP of Hockey Ops maybe?

Why the new thread? Timing is interesting....

 

[milkbag]

Jeez, so this is what it feels like to have a real hockey club eh

Andlauer has done so much in such a short period to completely revamp our hockey ops. Love to see it, exciting times ahead boys.

Alfie is likely going to by VP of Player Development, and work more with the coaching staff and players on gameplans/skills at the NHL level vs. the President/GM on signings/trades.

I've always wondered why a role like that isn't more common. Typically player development is focused on prospects, not NHLers.

Over the course of the season, coaches are hyper-focused on wins and losses (ice time, systems, etc). Having an eye in the sky who could say, "Hey Timmy, I noticed you're getting off your shot in the slot a half second too late, let's spend a couple weeks working on that release..."

Alfie would be great at that.

Well I mean. He hired an analytics guy and a POHO that we don’t even know is good yet lol.

The simple fact that we're adding people who are respected and highly thought of in hockey circles is a plus.

Not too long ago we were bringing Pierre McGuire...

Will it end in winning? Time will tell. But investments are clearly being made already.

I think people are excited that we will have a fully staffed Hockey Ops dept. as all the other teams do. Understandable

 

[Samboni]

Pierre says that it’s a good move for the club… as he looks back over his shoulder.

Good comment from the man that got rid of anyone that could replace him

Do all teams have POHOs? I remember that role was at least not as public or celebrated as it is now.

It might be a bigger deal here because our management staff was 3 people haha

Cause for celebration here. The beginning of a new era in hockey ops.

 

[Cosmix]

And now it begins. . .

WOOT!

Pierre "Andlauer brought the idea to him first.........."

PD interviewed Staios.

Staios " colaborative relationship - he is there for Pierre!"

Exactly. It's not a running joke like an NHL team's owner hiring a media personality like McGuire without the GM's blessing only to be fired as soon as the owner passed.

This is real, hockey business now. A professional sports team. Finally.

 

[Liver King]

We finally have a new leader! Long time coming

Pierre "Andlauer brought the idea to him first.........."

Staios " colaborative relationship - he is there for Pierre!"

PD did not interview Staios lol You misheard that, they met after Andleaur hand-picked him

Your love for Dorion is laughable at this point.

At least you found out hiring a POHO above Dorion was not "Fake News"

We made it baby!!

I can't tell if its satire or sour grapes

Nope - listen again "spoke to him for an hour and a half"

Lose the hate!

Pierre is on the right hand. (just like the baby Jesus)

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

wow liking what I'm hearing from Staois, already aware and talking about how the new generation of players are different etc etc.

literally opposite of a boomer philosophy

 

[Liver King]

Yeah, that's not an interview, you don't interview your new boss. You share ideas as they should!

Lose the emotional scrambling of Dorion's new standing

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Next up is a replacement for Trent Mann? Alfie as VP of Hockey Ops maybe?

Al Murray would be huge.

 

[slamigo]

Owner: Andlauer
POHO: Staios
GM: Dorion

Not sure how people think that Dorion is above Staios? When Dorion is let go, who do think will do the firing? It will be Staios thanking him for his years of service and wishing him well.
