Muckler to retire?

According to Team 1200 radio in Ottawa, GM John Muckler may retire at the end of the season, regardless of the Senators position in the standings. Owner Eugene Melnyk would sell the Missassauga Ice Dogs to Muckler and he would take over the OHL franchise. Bryan Murray is rumoured to become the GM next year which would leave an open coaching position in Ottawa.

A Brad Stuart/Alexei Zhitnik swap has been discussed frequently the last few days.

The frontrunners for the coaching job in Columbus are Ken Hitchcock, Andy Murray, Marc Habsheid, Mike Johnston and Pat Quinn. The leading candidate at the moment seems to be Ken Hitchcock, but he may refuse the job and hold out for a better team.

PLEASE RETIRE MUCKS, PLEASE!!!
I think the sens should fire Murray and Muckler, and Get Keenan as Coach/GM, Or Hitchcock or Robinson or Pat Burns as coach, or get ex-GM Marshall Jonston back as general manager.. Just my 2 cents
