OTTAWA -- The Senators' first trip to the Stanley Cup finals was apparently not enough to save John Muckler's job.
Ottawa fired Muckler and promoted coach Bryan Murray to the position Monday as part of a reorganization of the club's front office.
Murray told reporters at a news conference that he will not take on both roles of coach and GM, and said he will conduct interviews for a new coach over the next few weeks.
"The last three years as head coach has shown me we have a very strong foundation of players to build upon," Murray said at Monday's news conference. "The depth and experience of this team presents us with an enormous opportunity to a create a long-term plan that will allow us to bring forward a competitive team for many years to come."
