As much as the Senators started this season allowing the incumbents to continue in their roles, it always felt inevitable that we would arrive at a time when the organization would clear house. It began with general manager Pierre Dorion’s proper resignation before hitting the coaching staff as D.J. Smith and Davis Payne were let go. Goaltending coach Zac Bierk was reassigned within the organization. One area that had previously been unaffected was the scouting staff, but it was only a matter of time before the axe fell there.
I don't have the time, but would love to see a deeper dive analysis into the goals-above-expected metric (& similar goalie analytics) relative to overall team defence. Intuitively, I don't think the latter is accounted for enough.
