According to the Toronto Sun, the Ottawa Senators have fired general manager John Muckler. Muckler wouldn't discuss the issue with the paper, directing all inquiries to Senators owner Eugene Melnyk.

Quote:

"We are continuing to have ongoing discussions with management on the future direction and therefore the roles of everyone at the senior level. We had a great year and I am very proud of what my team has achieved. Saying that, I am always evaluating what we can do, both short term and long term, to continue the momentum and lead us to a Stanley Cup victory next year and for years to come."

Muckler out

This is somewhat odd. The guy has the best record as a G.M i.m.o, but to fire him is just wrong, I wished he stayed one more year with the team in some form. At the same time I kind of see Melnyk's secondary and third tier reasons for this move.

Didn't see this one coming. Maybe the change will be good, but it could also upset the apple cart completely. Sens have come a long way under the guidance of Muckler, but they do seem like they've stalled out
