He is. Andlauer wanted Staios to be the GM permanently, and hired Poulin to be part of the "two headed monster" he wanted to emulate from MTL.
Not sure why OP is focused on Chiarelli as a benchmark.
Edit: if anything, if Staios goes back to being POHO-only, it's likely Bonis is elevated. They upgraded his title and kept him around when Staios became perma GM, so they like him
1. I bet Poulin's contributions to Ottawa's front office will not be as good as his weak sauce punditry on TSN.
I hope I'm wrong.
2. Peter Chiarelli was rumored to be one of the candidates to be the next GM in Ottawa until Staios gave the GM job to himself.
That's why he's a "benchmark".
And if Andlauer is hands-on and indulges himself too much in the hockey ops, he could end up micromanaging.
3. To me, Staios as POHO and Jarmo as GM make a lot of sense.
Bowness only started out as Ottawa's Assistant GM last year and does not have the decades of experience that Jarmo has.
Teams look to hire from outside their organizations all the time and Ottawa should be no different.
