The First Shoe Drops

The Boston Bruins have relieved Peter Chiarelli of his job as General Manager.

That’s one.  What other moves will follow?  Let’s hope the search for a new GM is a short one.  We have a couple of months before the draft.  We’ll need someone in place by then.  I would imagine that Claude Julien’s days in Boston are numbered as most GMs would want to have their own coach in place.

As for players, Greg Campbell and Dan Paille were both told during their exit interview that they would not be resigned.  Both of them have had shining moments in a Bruins uniform, but it’s probably time for them to move on.

We will have to wait for a new GM before the big player questions are answered.  Lucic?  Chara?  Eriksson?  We’ll see.
