Dorion would be a good hire by HuGo - VP Amateur Scouting (Timmins’ old role)

VP title to save face and does what he does best … amateur scouting

Late in tonight's game against the Dallas Stars, the Flames were down a goal and Jonathan Huberdeau wasn't on the ice in the final minute. Daily reminder that former Panther Jonathan Huberdeau is in the first year of an eight year, buyout proof contract where 75% of the money is paid out in signing bonuses.

I had the same thought but . . . I don’t see it happening. Most GM’s won’t want to hire their potential replacement.

Except Dorion is no threat.

Like you say , what possibly could go wrong with these deals to vets

 

[lecoqsportif]

Hanifin will walk at the end of the year, so they really need to max out on that auction. They should be able to get a very good return.

But, yah, their future is ugly.

Not a huge threat but . . . he has GM experience so he is a a threat, even if a minor one.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Sure he is. He's the type of francophone that francophone media types, still pissed off about the fact that they no longer have access to the inner workings of the Habs front office, can make into their spy/stooge. If Hughes needs to hire an assistant, he needs to find another anglophone that the French media can't corrupt.

Ex-GMs gets hired all the time, see MB.

Pick #2 would be nice.

We get their 2026 pick if they’re #1.

??? They didn't. Toffoli was a low cost acquisition that they've been able to flip back to NJ. I doubt they're much upset with Toffoli.

Sure , but the stupid parameters costing them a potential high lottery pick was foolish

Panthers dodged a bullet going to the finals saving them a lottery pick for us

Teams are nuts

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

And not one of those teams will make it past the second round.

I think you're confused. The potential lottery pick comes from the Monahan deal (even better).

Toffoli cost them Mesar and Heineman.

My bad , I thought it was the other way around

 

[lecoqsportif]

They gave up a potential lottery pick in ‘25 and Monahan for…. Kadri.
