The Ottawa Senators have fired general manager John Muckler and promoted head coach Bryan Murray to the position of general manager. Murray will remain as the Senators head coach on an interim basis until the team can fill the position.
Murray says the team will begin searching for a new head coach in the next couple weeks.
The move, announced at an afternoon news conference, comes after several days of speculation of a front-office shakeup.
Sources close to John Muckler tell TSN Muckler learned of his fate over the weekend, mere hours after negotiating a new two year extension with veteran Dean McAmmond.
Mucker had 1 year remaining on his term as general manager with the Senators and another 2 years as a contracted advisor.
