Bob Murray, aged 68, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. He previously served as the Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Anaheim Ducks until 2021. His departure from the Ducks followed an NHL investigation related to his professional conduct. However, Murray didn't stay away from the game for long; he was later hired by the Calgary Flames as a scout.
Murray's association with the Ducks spanned 16 years, commencing in the 2005-06 season when he joined as Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations. His tenure included a crowning achievement when the Ducks clinched the Stanley Cup in the 2006-07 season. In recognition of his exceptional work, he earned the title of NHL General Manager of the Year in the 2013-14 season.
