From ian_mendes: Dorion: ‘Next six months’ will be critical for Senators. MORE:
to the Vegas Golden Knights – Pierre Dorion made a comment that bewildered his entire fan base.
“I probably know that I alienated some fans when I said my proudest day as general manager is when we traded. I probably have to apologize for that,” admitted Dorion. “I think the scout in me was talking too much and I have to remember that I’m the general manager here.” The comment from Melnyk, coupled with the fact the organization was openly seeking a senior management person to join the hockey operations staff, left many wondering if Dorion was on thin ice in Ottawa.
The general manager went on to lay out a short- and medium-term plan for the hockey club and suggested they could be back in the playoff mix as early as next season. “As far as the coaching, I have the full autonomy to hire the coach – whoever that may be,” he said.
