greenbean Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Boston, MA - Boston Bruins President Cam Neely announced today, Wednesday, April 15, that Peter Chiarelli has been relieved of his duties as General Manager of the Boston Bruins. An Interim General Manager will not be named at this time and the search for a new hire - which will be led by Bruins Chief Executive Officer Charlie Jacobs and Neely - will begin immediately. The Bruins current Assistant General Managers, Player Personnel Staff and Coaching Staff will remain in place at this time. Jacobs and Neely will hold a press conference today at 3:00 p.m. ET in the Will McDonough Room at TD Garden. "We are grateful for Peter's service to the Bruins organization over the last nine seasons," said Neely. "His efforts undoubtedly helped the team achieve great success during his tenure and he helped restore the proud tradition of Boston Bruins hockey. We ultimately feel that this change is necessary in order to ensure sustainable success for the club both in the short term and the long term. Our search for a new General Manager will begin immediately." Chiarelli served as General Manager for nine seasons, after being named the seventh GM in club history on May 26, 2006. Chiarelli's overall regular season record as the team's General Manager stands at 386-233-85, with his teams topping the 100-point plateau on four occasions and qualifying for the playoffs seven straight years from 2008-2014. His regular season record includes the third and fourth best seasons in club history with a 116-point campaign in 2008-09 (earning him The Sporting News NHL Executive of the Year honors) and the 2013-14 season's 117-point mark with the 54 wins, tying for the second-most single season victories in club annals. Chiarelli earned a Stanley Cup Championship in 2011, a President's Trophy in 2013-14 and a Cup Final appearance in 2013. He also served as an Assistant General Manager and won a Gold Medal for Team Canada during the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi. http://bruins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=763437 Surprised it was Chiarelli to go, but ownership is definitely not happy with missing the playoffs.

MJDDawg Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A little surprised considering they won a Cup just three years ago, but not shocked. The Seguin trade has come back to bite him. Wonder if Claude Julien won't be far behind. Although I'd argue that he could only do so much with the lineup he was given by Chiarelli. This is almost like the Canucks, but in a parallel universe.

goalie13 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wouldn't it be great if he went to Toronto? I wouldn't be surprised. I am sure he must be on Shanny's list of candidates now that he's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wouldn't it be great if he went to Toronto? I'd think he move to the top of their list along with Shero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon45ca Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wow, I'm a little surprised, but maybe the Seguin trade and not re-signing Iggy (they definitely could have used his 29 goals) pissed off the brass just enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
