Barely a full month into their offseason, the Ottawa Senators' front office has undergone a complete makeover.

In April, longtime general manager Bryan Murray stepped down to take an advisory role with the team and handed over the reins to Pierre Dorion, who formerly served as assistant GM.

Dorion wasted no time making an impact, relieving former head coach Dave Cameron of his duties and hiring Guy Boucher. Dorion is optimistic about the direction in which his team is heading.

"I'm as, or more, confident about the decision (to hire Boucher) as any that I've made in my hockey career," Dorion said Monday.

Boucher returns to the NHL after two seasons coaching in Switzerland. He was with the Tampa Bay Lightning from 2011-13, posting a record of 97-78-20.
