Anaheim Ducks Place Bob Murray On Administrative Leave

November 9, 2021 at 4:29 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 23 Comments

The Anaheim Ducks have placed general manager Bob Murray on administrative leave pending an ongoing investigation related to professional conduct. The team has released this statement:

We recently became aware of accusations of improper professional conduct against Bob Murray. After internal review, we enlisted Shephard Mullin to perform an independent investigation. Upon recommendation from their initial findings, we have decided to place Bob on administrative leave pending final results. In the interim, Vice President of Hockey Operations and Assistant General Manager Jeff Solomon will assume the role of Interim General Manager. We will have no further comment until the investigation is complete.

The team did not release any information in regards to the investigation. Solomon, who will take over for the time being, was only hired by the Ducks a few months ago after spending the first 14 years of his front office career with the Los Angeles Kings. When hired, his role was to “oversee strategic budget planning in relation to the NHL’s CBA and the salary cap, contract and arbitration negotiation, and player evaluation. Though he has never held the role of general manager, Solomon is no newcomer to the NHL. Before his stint with the Kings, he was an agent for nearly two decades.

Murray meanwhile has been with the Ducks since 2005 and took over as GM during the 2008-09 season. He has been in NHL front offices for nearly three decades, starting out as the director of player personnel with the Chicago Blackhawks in 1991, soon after his 1,008-game playing career had ended.

Sheppard Mullin is an international law firm with headquarters in Los Angeles.

    All of the sports leagues should just send out one memo “Please check your closet for skeletons and resign quietly now if you are just going to end up resigning loudly and abruptly later.”

    Bob was in Chicago’s FO for a stretch,then stumbled and Bob Pulford was brought back. Not too much else was “rinsed” after he left.
    It’s a secret to no one of his transgressions. This is going to get ugly for the Ducks. Watch alcohol be the “excuse.”

    Murray probably refused to get a covid vaccine — or something as terrible as that!

      @Jplane – Maybe his “vaccine” was 80-proof or stronger…

      @Mac – The past few seasons would lead most Ducks fans to the magic elixer! :D

      Ducks are quacking again though.

      @Gbear – That was so frustrating. Some of us figured that this season’s start would probably shape up to just be a continuation of last year’s tire fire, but instead they’ve come out like a house on fire. We thought Trader Bob was sitting back in the Big Chair laughing his butt off and giving us the one-finger salute.

    It’ll be interesting whether this is a current issue or a “20 years ago you did…..” kind of thing. But until then, no need to speculate.

    I am waiting for the audit of Gary Bettman’s life though. :D

      @Gbear – We’ll have to wait a *long* time for that! If I still have a pulse by then, my carpet face will rival J. Thornton’s in South FLA.

      @Gbear – We better not see him trying to get a tow up the ice, like Jagr was so fond of doing. :)

    Bad time to have had any affiliation with the Blackhawks. If you’ve ever played for, worked for or sold hot dogs in the stands it’s time to take a leave of absence. The sooner the better. Doug Wilson and Marc Bergevin please report to the Commissioners office please!

      Lots of questions of what happened there still unanswered.

      Even if you assume the team did it’s absolute best, trying to nickel and dime Skalde instead of settling this suit a long time ago and allowing this headline to linger was a terrible decision.
