Steve Pellegrini remains assistant gm, Chris Lamoriello remains in his role. Ottawa clearly wanted a change, and soured on him. He is Rick Bowness son who was head coach here in the 1990's.
We'll see if/how everyone is used by Darche.
#NYC #NYI #isles I like the hiring of Ryan Bowness but it seemed odd timing he was fired in May after Ottawa's elimination by former NYI turned gm Steve Staios. He did survive Pierre Dorian's tenure as gm in Ottawa. Despite nice resume/well-regarded this is now his third org.
