Michael Andlauer and Steve Staios address the media to announce changes to hockey operations
Hear from owner Michael Andlauer and President of Hockey Operations and Interim GM Steve Staios as they address the media following the announcement that Pierre Dorion has resigned from his role as GM of the Ottawa Senators.
Mike might have bought this team , but this is gonna be Pierre Dorian team for a long time. Put in a shitty situation with a poor owner PD tore down a good team and for years did his all to make a great young core , while understaffed no less. F%^& Mike and Steve for using this bullshit situation to fire Pierre…
I’m not even gonna get into the punishment itself, but how does a trade even happen in the first place where one of the teams isn’t even aware of any type of NM/NTC? Like, isn’t the league itself also partially responsible for not knowing that? I think all three parties (Sens, Knights, and the league), are guilty of some form of a lack of due diligence.
How the fuck do you acquire a guy and not know he has a NTC? Such bush-league shit, man. Embarrassing for everyone.
Edit: Just to clarify; I didn’t mean Vegas did anything wrong. And yes, they 100% got fucked
Andlauer is PERFECT in this presser. He said everything he was supposed to. Could you imagine the clown show this would have been if it had been Uncle Eugene sitting in that chair. He’d have cried and bitched, and not taken any responsibility. Michael opened his statement with saying the organization needs to be held accountable, and accepts its punishment, even if he doesn’t agree with it, personally.

Should have shown the full presser. Why the edit?

I fully support our owner
Get use to it Andlauer, NHL seems to hate us. Good on him for holding Dorion accountable.
Calling out Wayne Gretzky and MGM. Gutsy by a new owner but I respect it.
The guy from Post Media sounded extra offended lmao
See if they'll let Q come in and coach? I think that team is way better than the numbers
NHL is a joke league. Remember in the 90s when the NHL and the NBA were neck and neck…. MLS going to average more viewers than the NHL this season.
Great owner, but god please don’t hire peter chiarelli as the gm
Steve “The Stare” Staios
Ottawa should just move to Hamilton, they will forever be a poverty franchise
