Let's be honest here, who are we kidding if no one has been fired yet, it's not happening. Status quo...
How about Ray Bourque?
Bourque hasn't done much hockey exec stuff, Post NHL he has a a restaurant, and last "news" i heard about him was a DUI.How about Ray Bourque?
Ray might not want to do anything like these. He's had plenty of time to join the organization if he wanted and he hasn't. While I think it would be awesome to have him back here, I think someone younger would be optimal. Chara would be awesome, but you need to let him work some lower roles before you immediately inject him into a GM or President spot.How about Ray Bourque?
Yeah a guy who has spent more money and time helping cancer patients then probably all of us combined has zero empathy HAHHyeah....because we all know Cam has no empathy for anyone.
According to this, I cant vouch if accurate, Harkins is the Bs USHL scout out of Ohio.
Agreed. We don't need to recycle every former Bruin for every job.Bourque hasn't done much hockey exec stuff, Post NHL he has a a restaurant, and last "news" i heard about him was a DUI.
Honestly, Bruins should just stop hiring ex-players or people connected to the org.
May or may not be coincidence, the first time they won a cup in about 50 years... was when they had an outsider GM.

There’s honor in the brand of the Boston Bruins, perhaps more than the team’s ownership has ever understood.
The Bruins and their fans have always stood for something around here, a tad different from our other three franchises. The Bruins have been around much longer than the Celtics or Patriots and play in a house populated by rowdy, respectful, demanding folks who probably make less money but tip better than fans of our other three teams.
The Black and Gold have lived up to the love of their fans most winters since they first skated here in 1924. They are usually competitive, traditionally pugnacious, and ever-accountable. And Cam Neely — a big, tough, skilled leader first brought here by Bruins godfather Harry Sinden in 1986 — has been a worthy steward of the franchise since taking over as team president in 2010.
All of which made it so crushing to see Neely and the Bruins blunder into one of the worst decisions in team lore, bringing distraction and dishonor to the Hub Home of Hockey just when the surprising Bruins were off to their best start (10-1-0) in franchise history.

Why was Miller allowed to play in the USHL?
Isn't that the top US junior league?

I still don't understand what Willie O'Ree has to do with this signing to be completely honest. People keep mentioning that he should've been consulted or something, I don't get it.If that’s the case, perhaps it’s not surprising that a guy who pretty regularly sends out dismissive tone deaf tweets was involved in a tone deaf situation like this.
Not that it’s necessarily related to this decision, the person who heads up communications needs to go. Lots of talk about the junior HS level game notes lately, people have been complaining here about Harkin’s tweets for ages, and it appears that Willie O’Ree was either not consulted or ignored.
That’s PR basics — and serves to underscore that Bruins didn’t have their ducks in a row with regards to vetting the story, or managing it when it came out.
My vote: Harkins (his tweets alone are insulting), head of Communications, and one of the big guys.
Anything else is going to appear like the Bruins just sorry they got caught in a sloppy mess — nothing more.
Oh and sleazy Gary for sheer duplicity.
I thought the same thing.Why was Miller allowed to play in the USHL?

Have they placed him on waivers yet for termination yet? I know there's a lot that needs to happen before he can be terminated; but I'd think waiving him at least gives the signal he's no longer wanted in the organization.
