When Peter Chiarelli was fired by the Edmonton Oilers, many thought it could be the end of his NHL career. After a successful stint in Boston, Chiarelli was a complete mess in Edmonton. However, it seems like Chiarelli may have one more chance left in the NHL.
Chiarelli, 59, has spent 13 years as a General Manager in the National Hockey League with the Bruins and Oilers between 2006 and 2019. Chiarelli won the Stanley Cup in 2011 with the Bruins and in 2015 while with Edmonton, drafted Connor McDavid first overall.
There is a lot of pressure on the Senators to finally take that next step this season and compete for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. If they struggle early on in the season, General Manager Pierre Dorion could find himself on the hot seat.
