Ducks Place Murray on Immediate The

The Anaheim Ducks have suspended GM and EVP Bob Murray immediately pending a thorough investigation.

In a statement the Ducks said the following:

The Ducks have placed Executive Vice President and General Manager Bob Murray on administrative leave pending an ongoing investigation related to professional conduct.

Following is a statement from the Anaheim Ducks: "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 Ducks have done a good job to deal with this early on and after the recent cover up surrounding the Blackhawks teams need to do a much better job of protecting their employees and this is a step on the right direction.
