You’re really lacking some contextual information here as far as “inheriting” this squad. Dorion was the Sens head amateur scout for a long time previous to be hired as their AGM for 3 years and then their GM. It’s well known around Ottawa that Dorion vouched for some of their best picks in his time as head scout between 07-14. When he was their AGM, he ran scouting, while now disgraced and convicted sexual harasser Randy Lee ran Belleville. Dorion was a terrible GM because he sucks at evaluating pro-talent and his push in for Duchene, while great for me as a Avs fan living in Ottawa, is what sealed his fate as a bad GM. Anybody that actually knew hockey saw Stone and Karlsson carried that team. They had a bunch of ok depth pieces, Andersson was their only reliable goalie because they suck at developing goalies, and Ryan played the playoffs of his life. Dorion is a great amateur scout, a good AGM, and a terrible GM. Had he been left as an AGM that ran scouting and Ottawa found a GM that could evaluate pro-level players and properly size up that team, Dorion would still be considered a good hockey mind among people that pay close attention to secondary management pieces.

40 goals in his last 56 games.

Worst gm in nhl history

Mario has 5 cups not 3

Mario saved a franchise and in the process put his body on the line and paid the teams debt, Michael sold shoes

This is crazy how identical their careers are.

My opinion on Trelivings biggest failure: (re)hiring Sutter ._. I really OD'd on hockey from about 2010-2015 or 2016*, and took several years off of following it, so I missed Johnnys best years unfortunately :\ but returned when my partner became interested in hockey, and converted her to being a flames fan :) * OD'd on hockey - I used to play this card/dice based hockey game called Faceoff Hockey (later renamed Hockey Bones, but I think its been renamed again since), in a regular league. I went pretty hard on player statistics and scouting down into the CHL-level in order to evaluate players during our yearly draft and for trades. It was pretty overwhelming after awhile, and it didnt help that my dice let me down often enough that I never did make the playoffs :\ I left after 6 or so seasons, just burned out completely

Go figure... a Philly lifer sabotages their in-state rivals. Wasn't Hextall also the only Flyers goalie to commit an in-game assault & battery vs. the Pens? Why take the job of a franchise you despise? To tank it of course, the correct answer is to tank it!

Ovechkin: 7 goals in his first 11 games this season. 8 goals in his first 43 games last season. He also has 30 goals scored in his last 47 games which is a 52 goal pace over 82 games.

Keep doing this and some network will hire you to be a sportscaster

Vancouverites: alternate take here. Benning was the only possible way Canucks were ever going to rebuild. Think about it. I guess I forgot or didn’t notice how involved Trevor seems to be in the Benning era based on the clips anyway

Dorion has had some terrible misses, but I think the team is in a very optimistic spot. We'll see how this comment ages after the season - lol. The core is locked up. Zub was an amazing pick-up and is our best stay at home D right now. Batherson is a 25+ goal scorer just under 5 million for another two years after this season. A lot of people weren't sure about Sanderson at #5, and he's our best offensive defenseman already. Pinto and Greig are solid depth forwards, and the blueline has young guys like Kleven who are now NHL ready. Hell, a lot of folks were saying Ottawa should draft Zadina over Tkachuk (on draft day, not in hindsight) and obviously that would have been a disaster. For me, the goaltending management has been his garbage under his watch, but when you look at how exciting this team is, a lot of it was done under D's watch. We'll see how things pan out.

All this nonsensical movement from the ownership group to management to the high turnover in players with the exception of the core and the head coach is all been engineered to make the Penguins non competitive after their tearing the late 2000s to 2010s. These have been deliberate moves to include what we have currently. Pens Aetna is supposed to be competitive as the league wants to usher out the Crosby era in favor of the young players of today. Just like any other sports league, this crap is scripted. My opinion.

Hextall somehow managed to do a decade's worth of damage in just two years. That's impressive by any standard.

At the time I wanted the sens to keep Stone through the rebuild and make his the captain. I thought that he was still young enough that he’d be effective after the rebuild while being a mentor for the young guys. Looking back too I feel like this would’ve been the best move.

Imagine Melnyk didn’t stop the Hall-Ceci trade. Their chance of a cup in 2018 would’ve been a lot more realistic.

Became GM because someone died, got fired because someone died

Any real Pens fan knew day one that was gonna be a shitshow. 2024 is gonna be a good year boys and girls. LGP

idk why people dont talk bout this more by oiler F up by not drafting debrincat it obv easy say that now rather then back then but idk how u scout Mcdavid for a whole year see and not see this Debrincat kid ripping it on the same line as Mcdavid sure he small but u had to scout Mcdavid sure it no brainer but u dont see Debrincat and mcdavid ripping up together in juniors

Eberle couldnt one time a puck to save his life near the end here whiffed on everything

Rienhart was a waste of skin.

Moving Broberg was super stupid

He had the right idea with Larsson. He's been a solid defensive RD, actually just what the Oilers could use right now. If he had extended with the team it would be considered a win.

The way the scotty bowman era has started you might have another one of these to make for the oilers😂

Trading Eberle at his all time low value is debatably Chiarelli’s worst move with the oilers

CHiarelli was very good with drafting. His downfall was obvously trading and contracts.

such a bad time to be an oilers fan thru those 2 playoff misses after making playoffs in 2016-2017 we are in such a better spot now but every oiler fan should thank god peter chiarelli is gone

Eberle for Strome - Strome for Spooner - Spooner on waivers = Eberle for nothing

Gainey destroyed Montreal by riding itself of all offence and built a pop gun defence team. Price was Gainey's obsession & constantly overlooked the fact that Price was a hot and cold goaltender. Mostly cold and Price would be responsible for the longest losing streaks in team history. MB was hired by Gainey to continue inept management and refuse to get rid of Montreal's real problem. Building a team around Ptice and not offence. Price should have been traded when he had value in the NHL before he would be referred by sports writers as regular season Price. Montreal should have began it's rebuild by getting rid of Price before he would get a ridiculous contract comparable to McDavid, Crosby, Ovie and other offence stars that sold tickets. Had Montreal kept Halak after the playoffs of 2010 and shipped off Price, they could have rebuilt the team even sooner and never having to experience being the worst team in the NHL. Houle, Gainey & MB the 3 most incompetent GM's ever in the NHL. Bad management will destroy any organization and MTL fans had to live through it. When Sam Pollack retired & the Molson family replaced him, not with the obvious choice of Scotty Bowman but with an unindicted criminal (at that point) who was a dirty crooked Montreal city politican who was later arrested....all because the Molson's wanted to grease the wheels of their real estate business at the expense of the hockey team.

I had a hard time paying attention because of all the Radiohead songs lmao - Everything In Its Right Place - 15 Step - Reckoner - All I Need - House of Cards

Its not like their current management is much better. Managing to waste the prime years of their best player ever, refusing to change any of the core pieces year after year

10/10 video. Stoked for the next one!

Great video, but special props for the soundtrack 👌 Sun glasses at night, The safety dance, It’s my life, Bitter sweet symphony, and most of all, Bonnie and Clyde by Gainsbourg… well done and good tastes sir. I love the content and the packaging, you got yourself a new sub Edit: I was watching again and noticed“Dance me till the end of love” by our great Leonard Cohen and couldn’t help but think about tipping my hat to you again sir, what a great attention tu details, thanks from Montreal and Québec

Our next video on Peter Chiarelli and the Edmonton Oilers will premiere Monday, September 23 at 8am MST! Please subscribe!!!!!!

I personally disagree with calling any picks from 2021 (from any team) a whiff this early. Zack Ostapchuk actually looks like he’ll be a good top 9 forward, but I do agree that Tyler Boucher would have been better picked later on.

I think it’s underappreciated how much the Leafs bad defense hurt their goaltenders’ numbers. Each and every goalie, pretty much without fail, who came to or left the Leafs, had better numbers immediately before and after playing for the Leafs. It just happened too often to be a coincidence, and the most dramatic of those happened when the goalies went to or came from strong defensive teams.

I remember the 07 Sens.

As a sens fan im still way too far in the fuck this guy i never want to hear his name again to bother evaluating him beyond looking at the sens record under him and letting that stand as his legacy of dismantling a team that was in Game 7 of the ECF before him. Im so glad this fucking loser will never get a job in hockey again

7:03 JBD is definitely a notable pickup from the 2018 Draft

2017 and 2018. See Benning facial expression at the draft podium. He didn't want to draft Petey or Hughes. Not one smile then and what circulated was that Linden argued with him about drafting Petey. He says differently now that he is not the GM. Benning was a bad GM and the only highlight was trading for JT. Everyone else forced him to pick the core guys now.

Keep it up and some day you guys could be as bad as my Leafs.

Its also been said that he wore underwear or shorts when showering amongst the team. Weirdo.

Fermentin?🤣

Do one on Ken Holland during his time at Detroit.

Although Dorion made officially made all the moves, I truly think Eugene Melnyk was pulling all the strings and Dorion was just his puppet. Too many owners in the league thinking they know better and end up with some flaming hot garbage for years to come after a disappointing playoff run

3:15 Mike disappears in the playoffs. No big loss after all.

At the time Chabot was worth 8 ms

As a resident of Ottawa (I'm a Leafs fan though), I fully believe that Melnyk still made all the decisions when he was alive and people like Dorion and the multiple head coaches they had were the ones who just took bullets for him.

the mark stone trade andthe derek brassard trade are by far the worst trades i've seen ottawa ever make
