With this announcement, Staios will become President of Hockey Operations for the Ottawa Senators. He will oversee the operations for the team and is already familiar with Andlauer which might make more sense, given the quick move for Staios.
As a defenseman for the Vancouver Canucks, Boston Bruins, Atlanta Thrashers, Edmonton Oilers, and Calgary Flames, Staios has played 1,034 NHL games. In 2014, he was hired by the Toronto Maple Leafs as a player development adviser, and in 2015, he supported the interim coaching staff.
