Dreger: "Full-scale changes" could be on horizon for Bruins
/Darren Dreger was on Toronto’s TSN 1050 on Wednesday afternoon.
As part of a larger discussion on the Boston Bruins, and specifically what Peter Chiarelli’s philosophy would be if the Bruins don’t make the playoffs this year:
“I think he gets fired. I think that they opt for a full-scale front office change. And look – none of this would come as a surprise to Chiarelli, and maybe to Claude Julien as well. Julien just signed an extension not long ago, but he’s also so highly-respected. If Boston were foolish enough to make that decision on either Chiarelli or Julien, then another team would snatch those guys up relatively early in the offseason.
“But honestly fellas, I think we’ve seen enough level of emotion coming out of that city and out of that organization from senior management and ownership to form the opinion that something is going to break here. And if Chiarelli doesn’t execute a deal that doesn’t keep the Bruins in the playoff picture – if they were to miss, then I think there’d be full-scale changes in the offseason.”
