Fire Don Sweeney
The most unsurprising news out of the hockey world today is that Boston Bruins are bringing back Tuukka Rask on a 1 year 1 million dollar deal. With that deal I believe the Bruins have ZERO cap space going forward unless they make a trade to free up some sort of space. With this signing what does it mean for the Bruins. Let Hockey Guy Ray tell you.
This is it for this front office, its win it all or fire them all. Mistake after mistake from this front office has put them in this situation. Since May 20th, 2015 Don Sweeney has had some head scratcher moments. Take his first draft with the Bruins, the infamous 2015 NHL draft, the one year and draft you can mention and piss the Queen right off. The Bruins had 3 first round picks in this draft and whiffed on all 3 selections, taking Jakub Zboril at 13, Zachary Senyshyn at 14, and Jake DeBrusk at 15. The 16th selection an All Star named Mathew Barzal. None of the 3 mentioned players have preformed like their high selection let alone have had an all star season. In fact none of the players Sweeney has drafted have turned out to live up to their expectations EXCEPT for Charlie McAvoy. He is a terrible when it comes to the draft and free agency hasn’t been much better. Sweeney has let more core players leave than he has signed. Letting go of guys like Adam McQuaid, Torey Krug, defensemen that you are now lacking 6 years later. His best signing to date has been Taylor Hall but that’s it.
This team is set up for a 2nd round exit once again, Bruce Cassidy is a great coach in my opinion. For what he has been dealt and also taken away he has made the best of it. If/when we get bounced out of the playoffs it will be time for Jeremy Jacobs to look at what his front office has done and address it. Firing Don Sweeney and Cam Neely and starting off fresh wit a new group that can draft and address needs for this team is what we would want and need. Now your’e probably asking, “but hockey guy Ray, who is this GM?” Well folks that’s for you guys to throw at the wall and see what sticks. I am just a guy who froze his balls off today and had an angry rant he wanted to get off his chest.
