I think whoever comes on as POHO will eventually fire Dorion and take over himself.

the 2018 olympics was the olympics with no NHL player
This would be a good hire

Will he have the authority to?
I think what will happen is someone will be brought in without that sort of authority.
We'll finish low again next year. Melnyk will fire Dorion and do some awesome Toronto open mic night sets throwing Dorion under the bus "he gives up the 1st overall pick for matt du-ches-ne? what is up with that? For the record, trading Karlsson was his idea, I loved the guy wanted to keep him!".
That will result in the POHO getting full control.

I reacted the same way initiallyMy first response was wtf, but then I read Sean and not Brian.

Funny thing is at this point I would hardly even be mad if it was Brian. You know he's not taking **** from anyone. We need a guy like him, but someone who's less of a dinosaur.
Anything is better than "status quo". Unfortunately, "status quo" is looking more and more likely as each day passes.I always disliked Brian Burke but he could be what the Sens need. He has respect around the league. He has a wealth of experience. He would be able to deal with Melnyk. He is a good communicator. He would fire Dorion. He would convince Melnyk on the importance of a strong hockey ops department and attract and make the hires to get it there.
Can't wait for that smug idiot Pierre to get the boot. Total ****ing *******.
737-1111 doesn't produce pizza though. Cardboard, yes.
Cyril Leeder was considered very good, and worked with Melnyk for a long, long time.I think whoever we get will be **** because no actually decent possible President of Hockey Ops candidate would want to work under Eugene Melnyk
Eh, true. Though things are so bad now I just can't see anyone actually wanting to come in unless they're you know, crap.Cyril Leeder was considered very good, and worked with Melnyk for a long, long time.
While that is true, he didn't take the job to work under melnyk, ownership changed above him. It's not really an analogous situation to hiring somebody now, particularly given all the stuff that has happened since his departure. Anselmi was well regarded and took the job but he quit not long after. That's imo far more relevant.Cyril Leeder was considered very good, and worked with Melnyk for a long, long time.
Fact of the matter is Leeder worked 13 or 14 years under Melnyk. No one knows exactly what transpired between Anselmi and Melnyk. Of course, there are many theories.While that is true, he didn't take the job to work under melnyk, ownership changed above him.

Like we're never gonna get a Shanaplan, we'll get some sort of horrible Melnyk monstrosity and the poor guy will have to try to sell it like Dorion does
People didn't have the concerns about whether execs would be willing to work under Melnyk that they have today even two years ago. You are making a false equivalency by suggesting melnyks reputation today is the sames as it was when leeder was here or that keeping a role you already have under a mecurial owner is the same as applying for a new one under the same person.Fact of the matter is Leeder worked 13 or 14 years under Melnyk.

I think it was once the writing was on the wall about Lebreton, Anselmi went home as that was why he was brought in. His hotdogs will live on forever...
So did Alfie and we all know how that turned out.Fact of the matter is Leeder worked 13 or 14 years under Melnyk
