Anaheim Ducks place executive vice president and general manager Bob Murray on administrative leave

From the press release, "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."

Murray, 66, has been with the Ducks organization since 2005, joining the club first as a senior vice president of operations and the general manager of their AHL affiliate club, the Portland Pirates. He was elevated to the role of general manager of the Ducks in the middle of the 2008-09 season, following Brian Burke's dismissal.
