[4ORRBRUIN]

What exactly was the point of this?

Don Sweeney is a bad G.M. don't you get it?

I wish he would have just outright said that instead of walking everyone through stuff they already knew happened haha

Sweeney's work at the deadline:

Traded:
2018 1st round pick
2018 3rd round pick
2019 7th round pick
Matt Beleskey (50% retained)
Ryan Lindgren
Rob O'Gara
Ryan Spooner
Net gain= Nothing

Traded Frank Vatrano for a 2018 FLA 3rd round pick
Net gain= Jakub Lauko | F | 3rd Round

Sweeney's work at the draft:
Axel Andersson | D | 2nd Round
Jakub Lauko | F | 3rd Round
Curtis Hall | F | 4th Round,
Dustyn McFaul | D | 6th Round
Pavel Shen | F | 7th Round

Sweeney's work this summer:
John Moore
Joakim Nordstrom
Chris Wagner
Jaroslav Halak

Sweeney's work at camp and season opening?
It would be nice to see Sweeney flip a few extra bodies they have and turn them into assets on a trade.
Hopefully some of the rookies push the Bruin management to make a deal. I guess we will wait and see.

Net gain was actually a first round playoff win, something that the B’s haven’t had since 2013/14.

Also, you left out Sweeney extending Marchand and Pasta (two elite core players) for long term bargain deals compared to the going rate.

Playoff round wins don't count unless you win it all

I think Remer was just trying to complain about the deadline to now with this post.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Of course he was...

 

[Oates2Neely]

Would be nice to win one more Cup with this core (Bergeron Rask Marchand Krejci)

Duschene is talking about free agency. He wants to play for a contender. He would be a really nice pickup.

Nine years in the league, and he has 8 total playoff games to his name. I'd want to play for a contender at this point as well haha. I'd take Duchene. He's not the best defensively, but he can fly and has a lot of offensive skill. Now, depending on who hits UFA this offseason, he may or may not be my #1 target, but he's 27 years old (he'll be 28 come UFA) and he would give us a Top 6 center for down the road.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the net gain also includes a rested Rick Nash in 2019. Just got a feeling....

I don't touch Duschene. He was a HUGE part of the problem his final year in Colorado. And he sure didn't make things better in Ottawa when he got there. Maybe he is a great guy, but not a player I want to make a core piece for the next 7 years

Agreed 100%. Ottawa got much worse with him on their team. He's the kind of player where you wonder what kind of clubhouse guy he is.

Not complaining.
It's true that I am not a fan of what he did at the deadline. Yes, he went for it, but it wasn't a good deal.
Just hoping that Sweeney can make a deal that is a positive for the Bruins with some of the extra bodies this team presently has on the roster.
P.S. Forgot Tommy Wingels for a 5th in 2019 that turned into now a 4th rd pick.

Sweeney once again has slept through the off-season. When was the last time Sweeney was even heard from? Talk about keeping a low profile.

He got his butt hurt from
Gordon from that Nash trade debacle. He has a deer in the headlights face now since. He can't make a trade now.

What the f*** are you talking about

 

[Chief Nine]

What the **** are you talking about

Shhh. He can see into people’s souls

Tell me one trade that don won clearly . I can't name one. Even his signings are nothing to gloat about. I think he should just draft and develop that's it.

1. Calling the Nash deal a "debacle" is f***ing stupid

2. Saying that Sweeney is now scared to make a trade because of that deal is also f***ing stupid. He's hardly made any trades outside of that first draft. So him not making any deals this summer is not an indication that he's been scared off by his past, it's him following what he's done since he took the job

I don't know how you can get on his case for not making deals, and then sit here and say you want him to stick to drafting and developing. Make up your mind

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I can't believe how scared Sweeney is right now. I heard he can't even go to his regular grocery store because he's afraid that people will harass him about Ryan Lindgren and Ryan Spooner.

 

[Chief Nine]

He did really well on the Lucic trade.
If you pay close attention you might see what Sweeney is doing...

Stop it, JP Nolan.

2020 at TD Garden

I hope the parade weather is like last time

I apologize to you.

I wondered why you change your user name here like I do passwords every 6 months at work and I realize you have recall issues.

I’ve answered this under your last 5 user names.

Lucic for Martin Jones, Colin Miller, LA first round pick

Martin Jones for Sean Kuraly & SJ first round pick

Signings

Riley Nash
Wagner
Halak
Moore
Schaller

Agreed. Funny how a lot of people can't or simply won't admit that the guy is completely clueless.

Agree again. He's never won a trade and his signings (Belesky, Backes, etc) more than speak for themselves. Ever wonder why only a few posters can admit this?

 

[DKH]

Agreed. Funny how a lot of people can't or simply won't admit that the guy is completely clueless.

This is hilarious on so many levels. My friends who read these Boards faithfully have mentioned there is a special category for you and don/JP.

By and large they enjoy your schtick whereas JP categorization I don’t like the term and it’s actually forbidden in my house even though it’s not a swear word just disgusting term
