Bruins hire Chiarelli as general manager

The Boston Bruins announced today that they have signed Peter Chiarelli to a four-year contract as the team's general manager. Chiarelli, who spent the past two years as assistant general manager of the Ottawa Senators, will succeed the fired Mike O'Connell.

Many fans were dismayed this week after The Providence Journal reported that the Bruins had failed to reach a deal with Nashville assitant general manager Ray Shero, who was thought to be their leading candidate for the job. The Pittsburgh Penguins hired Shero last week.
