Electricity is really just organized lightning.
Is Dorion actually doing shit on his own, or does he just have Melnyks hand up his ass?
If he does actually have authority and is doing what he thinks is best he's in the conversation for worst GM ever. If he's just going through the motions to keep his job and being a puppet, well that just makes him a shill. BUt I understand why he'd do it.

It's clearly more than that.
He doesn't have a true underlying philosophy to how he does his job. He says various things, and all of it is stuff we've heard before from other GMs or managers, and in isolation each is (maybe) reasonable.
But as a collection of statements and thoughts, there are so many inconsistencies that it's obvious that he just says what he thinks is will go over well at that time.... as opposed to having a core set of ideas about how to build a winning team.

Has nothing to do with language and everything to do with how much he is thinking about collaborating his past stories while speaking. Dude has lied to this fanbase so much over the past 12 months, that he needs to be very careful with what he says, he wants to make sure all of his lies line up. Too much thinking about covering his own tracks.

Forget is PD is a good GM.
IF PD is a good at being the GM of the Sens Cost=Per-Point strategy...is it fair to assume the Sens should have 1-2 players solidly on this list?
Best NHL team money can buy under 2018-19 salary cap without ELCs - Sportsnet.ca
Yes this is just some arbitrary list from one writer on one sportsite...blah, blah blah...,
but still, shouldn't the team most focused on CPP have some players on essentially a list of best CPP contracts? just sayin.

I call you Mike Milbury and raise you one beer salesman turned NHL GM - Rejean Houle. The man who traded
Patrick Roy and Mike Keane for Thibault Peanuts and a used Russian Tank.
Then traded the slightly more used russian tank for Scott Thornton
Then traded Thornton for Juha Lind
Traded Craig Conroy and Pierre Turgeon to reacquire a worn out Shayne Corson
I think every trade he made the ream a lot or a little bit worse. He starts out with a recent cup winner with Patrick Roy on it and ends up 5 years later with a team that has missed the playoffs twice in a row and who's top scorer had 49 pts.
Reggie gave the Avs Roy and 2 cups, PD may give them Hughes and a few more.
He managed to do this without an owner like Eugene too- makes it more impressive. Reggie is the worst all time

That's just unbelievable. At a quick glance that looks like 300+ individual pts out the door.

Assuming Dorion knew he was moving both Karlsson and Hoffman why on earth did he not just give the 4th overall to Colorado at the draft???
What a moron
What a moron

He was. Apparently the only guy in this draft they liked more than Tkachuk was Hughes, whether you believe that or not is another thing.

oh I thought you meant Quinn because you said "in this draft"
well, surprising but also not surprising from Dorion
Tkachuk will never amass the points to command the salary that Hughes likely will.

Exactly. Chara wasn't the key piece to that deal, but he wasn't a throw in either. He was a huge, mean, tough defenseman who had trouble skating. Bottom pair guy with a bit of upside brought it to add some toughness to a soft team. Nobody .. . nobody predicted he would become the force he became.

Sounds like Ben Harpur. Is that why Boucher keeps playing him? He could be the next Chara!!
