Claude Julien, through little fault of his own, is probably on his last legs as coach of the Bruins. The ex-GM, Chiarelli, mismanaged the cap and left him with nothing other than Bergeron, ancient and broken down defensemen (Chara and Seidenberg), a rat (Marchand) and the best-paid fourth liners in the league (Kelly, i.e.). He signed Rask to the second highest contract among goalies and he can't even have a GAA under 3.0, despite Claude always wanting to pack it in. The new GM brings in Zac Ranaldo, a knuckle-dragging goon with no talent who gets flattened in fair fights.
The only thing that is saving Julien right now is that the owner, Jacobs, is notoriously cheap and probably doesn't want to have to pay two coaches at once, although he did it plenty of times in the nineties.
