Nice hire. (In that any hire at this point is a nice hire).

 

[GCK]

Time to search for any connections to potential big money investors.

 

[OmniSens]

Hopefully he's here to stay.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

He is here to help with the sale duhhhhh

 

[Qward]

Melnyk is focusing on President of Hockey Operations.

 

[umma gumma]

He'll be gone in a year or so.

 

[armani]

Little does he know about working for an owner like Melnyk.

Hopefully he has been chosen with new ownership's endorsement.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Not a clue who he is.

Hopefully he lasts longer than whatshisname that left.

 

[Tuna99]

Sadly his resume means nothing, his will to withstand a toxic work environment and owner will be the real test, not if he can sell tickets.

Amazing news. Feels good to be a sens fan

Anything that removes Melnyk from any of his duties is good news:

I assume that they are still a couple of years away from that POHO hire?

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Seems like a good dude from what other people are saying. Don't know anything else about him nor care about non hockey positions.

 

[HSF]

still waiting on the POHO

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Don’t know anything about him just glad that as far as I’m aware he never worked for melnyks crooked pharmaceutical companies.

 

[The Lewler]

Ok. Let's see how he fares.

 

[BatherSeason]

Ok. Let's see how he fares.

With Melnyk still in charge, my initial thought is that he is gone by the start of next season.

 

[foggyvisor]

I heard there were high-fives in the dressing room after this was announced.

They said in at the end of last season they were no longer going to go with a POHO.

I wanted to be excited about this hire and then I saw this picture of Jim Little and thought 'no man that matched that tartan jacket, with that striped shirt, with that polka dot tie should be trusted with anything of any importance'.

He's coming from a Canadian telecom which are probably some of the worst run companies in the world. Not much to get excited about.

What's he hiding in that storage room??

Pierre Dorion absolutely approves of the checkered jacket.

This guy gets final say on jerseys...

They only called off the search at the beginning of this season:

This article is from October of this year:

"And, of course, Friedge managed to unearth another nugget after ‘Headlines’ aired: The Ottawa Senators have decided to put off their search for a president of hockey operations for at least the rest of the season."

The fictitious search was announced at the end of last season.

 

[Cosmix]

I expect little to be accomplished by him.
