"Sporting News, via a 39-member panel of executives and coaches, has named Peter Chiarelli the NHL's Executive of the Year. Yesterday, Sporting News tabbed Claude Julien as Coach of the Year (Boston.com)."
Well deserved. Chiarelli has turned this franchise around. Last summer, Chiarelli signed Michael Ryder to a three-year, $12 million contract, which a lot of people laughed at. Ryder was great all season, and one of the main reasons the Bruins got as far as they did. Then st the trade deadline, he acquired Mark Recchi and Steve Montador. Montador kind of sucked, but Recchi was a huge part of the Bruins playoff run. It will be interesting to see what Chiarelli will be able to do this offseason, but no matter what he deserves this award for the work he did last year. Now GO SIGN KESSEL AND KRECJI!!!
