Senators fire GM Pierre Dorion in wake of Dadonov trade controversy
Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion was fired on Wednesday after the team was docked a first-round draft pick for its role in an invalidated trade involving Evgenii Dadonov, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
I guess that once the league decided to go through with the punishment that this was the obvious call. Someone has to be accountable.
Real shame that he spent 7 years getting abuse for his team building...only to find himself on the outside looking in at the exact moment they seem like they're about to make the step up.
Yeah, I think we all saw this coming as soon as they announced their press conference.
Long before that, even, if I'm honest. He wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
No one surprised, even besides the punishment for the trade fiasco. He's seemed to put a team together with a lot of talent, but I think a new GM and new head coach is likely what they need to take the next step(s).
Should have just covered up SA. That would have gotten them a franchise player instead
