Melnyk on president search: 'Think of Murray'. MORE:
The Ottawa Senators announced Saturday the team would be hiring a president of hockey operations to fill the void left by the late Bryan Murray.
Murray joined the Senators as head coach of the team in 2004 and moved to the general manager in 2007. He stepped down as general manager after the 2015-16 season as he was fighting colon cancer but remained a senior adviser to the team until his death in 2017. “The job of accumulating assets is 90 per cent done. It’s now deploying them, and how do you do that, and that’s where I think Pierre needs help. He needs a professional hockey sounding board for all hockey ops. I never replaced Bryan, but I always planned to. I had to wait, give it time and I had to let Pierre do his thing. With all these assets in place it’s time to bring in somebody in to help him out. It’s another voice, another thought.
