John Muckler's days numbered?

According to this article by the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch (who for some reason, appears here in a Winnipeg newspaper), the Senators could be close to firing general manager John Muckler, and this is indeed a big surprise.

The Ottawa Senators could announce, as early as tomorrow, that GM John Muckler has been fired.
While Muckler wouldn't comment yesterday, referring all questions about his future to team owner Eugene Melnyk, two senior NHL executives told Sun Media they believe Melnyk gave Muckler his walking papers on Friday.

I guess someone needs to take the fall for the Sens losing out on the Cup, and Eugene Melnyk may have decided that it's his general manager's doing.

Hehe, the Martin Gerber signing really ticked him off...

Let's wait and see...

And if this does happen, then I'm telling you right now, Bryan Murray will be the first man Melnyk turns to.
