Alfie POHO

Dorion GM
Bowness AGM
Staios AGM

Dorion is on a short short leash

Alfie‘s interest is in development he said.

What a breath of fresh air either way. Getting some more brains in there is a good thing.

Whatever "development" means.

Development of the roster?

Development of the roster?

Development of character in the front office.

Alfie POHO

Dorion GM
Bowness AGM
Staios AGM

Dorion is on a short short leash

Alfie is player development and will work with team leadership

hoooweee! Haters getting all riled up in here! PD living rent free all across HFSens lol

Alfie has very clearly said that he wants to work directly with players and he doesn’t have much front office experience.

He’s not going to be hired as the president of hockey operations. In fact it’s a pretty useless position in my opinion to be honest, especially if Andlauer is going to be as hands on as he seems. Essential Andlauer is the owner/POHO.

You don’t need another POHO and a GM, you really need one guy making the hockey decision, and 2 or 3 AGMs for support.

An example of the power struggle that can ensue is between Shanny and Dubas… I mean, who is in charge? Why would Dubas have to check in with Shanny before making trades? Seems silly to me.

GM checks in with POHO, who then checks in with Andlauer… that’s bloated management right there.

You might be surprised.

Alfie has very clearly said that he wants to work directly with players and he doesn’t have much front office experience.

“I would love to have a meaningful role in hockey ops. I feel I have a lot to contribute in that role, so that’s kind of what I’m hoping. We’ll see what happens with the new ownership, but that’s my dream job.”

Hiring Daniel Alfredsson would be the easiest move Michael Andlauer could make

Andlauer would be wise to tap into an instant line of credit with the Ottawa fan base with Alfredsson.

We already have one such "character"!

The Fire-ening is almost upon us, rejoice!

Hallelujah !

"Meaningful role in hockey ops" could be very broad in scope. It covers potentially many different roles including HC, AC, GM, AGM, & POHO.

If he said "helping individual players to improve their skills", then it would likely be player development.

I agree that a POHO would redundant.

One GM (roster construction) with 2 to 4 assistants (e.g., AHL Farm System, Scouting, Player Development, Hockey Analytics, Contracts & Capology) should be able to do the job.

Alfredsson says he has spent some time around the Senators and Canadian Tire Centre this season, including skating with injured players while the team is out of town.

"I think with experience and what they're going through now. I was there early in my career, how we went from being the worst team in the league to consistently being a playoff team," Alfredsson said.

"I feel I have a lot to contribute in that role, so that's kind of what I'm hoping. We'll see what happens with the new ownership, but that's my dream job."

GM - Darche
AGM - Staois

Alfie - Some sort of role in player development. Like a Director or something. Hopefully someone with a bit of experience as the POHO. Staois could potentially be a POHO candidate if he is meant to be the buffer between management and ownership.

 

[Agent Zub]

I can see Alfie playing a role in both player development and as an advisor to decision making and roster construction.

Just seems like that would fit his personality and ability best.

I can see Alfredsson being named as an assistant to the GM, similar to the way Yzerman was trained to become a future GM.

For GM I would like to have someone with previous experience and some past success at being a GM or an experienced AGM with a successful team. That would not be Alfredsson at this time.

I would like to replace Dorion as GM asap.

I can see a team having a senior veteran retired GM acting as special advisor to a new GM.

Yeah like a VP of player development or something. Still front office, still dealing with players directly.

If you want some past success at GM, then better to wait until one is available, instead of accepting what is available. Unless you mean Ryan Bowness gets the reins.

I don't have a specific person in mind to be the GM at this time. Hopefully the new owner does and that person meets the criteria.

If the VP of Player Development is supposed to report to the GM, then I would give him an AGM title such as AGM - Player Development.

I see VPs as a higher level title under a P. Just my past experience at work; not the gospel.

Perhaps.

Perhaps we could get someone like Sam Pollock, Lou Lamoriello or Glenn Sather, arguably the top 3 GMs ever.

And two of whom are alive!

I don't think the Sens could afford Sather's cigar bill.
