The Ottawa Senators have reportedly fired Pierre McGuire as the team's senior vice president of player development less than a year after his hiring.
His tenure with the Hartford Whalers is the stuff of hockey legend, in fact, with McGuire succeeding Paul Holmgren as the team's head coach midway through the 1993-94 season before his players reportedly demanded him to be let go. After winning a Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins as an assistant coach in 1992-93, McGuire proceeded to never hold a role with an NHL organization that finished with a regular-season record above .500 since. This is not exactly an unforeseen development for a team employing McGuire in its front office.
