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.
