There has been a changing of the guard at the Canadian Tire Centre.
As Postmedia reported first Sunday morning, Senators GM Bryan Murray, who has been on the job since the club went to the Stanley Cup final in 2007, will be into a role as a senior adviser while assistant Pierre Dorion will take over the GM’s job immediately.
Murray told reporters now is the time for a change.
“After 35 years in the NHL as a coach or general manager, it’s time to step aside and have a different role with the organization,” said Murray, who wants to spend more time with his family. “I can say every day in the NHL has been a challenge and it’s been great.
“It’s taken some time to come to this decision.”
Pierre Dorion
Dorion, an Orleans native, is in his ninth season with the Senators and has spent 20 years working in the NHL. He is the eighth GM in club history. He said the decision was made to to this day because the Senators want the fanbase to know there is a plan for the future.
“We want people to know our management structure is in place,” said Dorion, who called Murray a mentor. “I am so humbled and thankful to be following in Bryan’s footsteps. Please don’t be fooled here, I am stepping into big shoes.”
Dorion’s father Pierre Dorion Sr. was a longtime NHL scout before he passed away before the 1994 enty draft in Hartford.
He was the club’s director of player personnel before being elevated to the position of assistant GM along with Randy Lee in 2014. Lee will stay in his role as assistant GM and you can expect that his duties will be expanded.
Dorion worked as an amateur scout with the Montreal Canadiens for 11 seasons and spent two years with the New York Rangers before coming to Ottawa.
While Murray, 73, won’t be out of the picture completely. His new job will keep involved as the club takes to try to get back to the playoffs next season. Battling Stage 4 colon cancer, Murray had been considering moving into a different role for over a year and can bring his wealth of experience to help Dorion.
“I’m leaving after a disappointing year and that’s the hardest part. You always want to try to leave on the up but I really feel good about the talent level that’s on the ice for this organization. We all feel good about what’s in the future here,” said Murray, who thanked owner Eugene Melnyk for his support.
Yes, there’s a lot of work to do with the roster, but the first decision Dorion has to make is on the future of coach Dave Cameron. It’s believed he _ along with most of the coaching staff _ could be shown the door after only 15 months on the job and it will be the seventh coaching change since the club went to the final.
Dorion said he’s not prepared to decide on that front yet.
“We’ll be meeting with Dave and a decision on the coaches will follow,” said Dorion
