Maybe if he had done a better job in that draft they wouldn't have lost

Maybe if they do a "better job in that draft", they don't even make the Finals. I can do it too, Fenian.

If he didn’t draft a franchise dman at pick 14 or traded for Coyle and Mojo we would have been out in the 1st round.
or if the top 6 decided to show up.........................
Literally the only reason why they lost. Anybody that thinks anything else is out to lunch. Their best players were not their best players and they still went to seven, largely based off of acquisitions Sweeney made
Yep, they aren't getting there without DeBrusk, Carlo, McAvoy, Acciari, Heinen, Coyle, Mojo, Wagner, Nordstrom; all Sweeney draft picks/FA signings/trade deals. You could throw Moore, Kampfer and Backes as well, who all also played small, but at times important, roles in that cup run.

I don't think he loses sleep over the draft but if I were him, not getting a winger for Krejci would keep me up nights. We complain that the top6 didn't show up but Krejci led the team in ES scoring with no wingers and was setting people up all series against STL. Imagine the difference one average NHL winger would have made. He did such a great job getting a Mojo and Coyle... it kills me that he stopped there. It's like if in 2011, we had only got Kaberle and Peverley and not Kelly. Anyway, water under the bridge, it was a special run regardless of the final game, which I honestly believe they played well enough to win.
Of course, I was just mentioning the players that Sweeney had drafted or signed since that was the point @CDJ was making in his post.
Rask was easily the reason they won R2. W/O him, Columbus beats them and you are looking at a whole different picture. After Rask, you have Coyle and
Johannson elevating in R2.

No matter what you think of the pick he still comes across as a likeable guy and someone worth cheering for,I liked what I heard
Right, but I was responding to an earlier post by CDJ talking about Sweeney's acquisitions, and Rask isn't one of them. I agree with you 100% by the way, just a different conversation.

I know it sounds like I'm rooting against Senyshyn but that is not the case, unlike many picks who I did not like because of character or on ice laziness I think Senyshyn has done everything asked of him, puts in a full effort and is trying his hardest to live up to unrealistic expectations. Flip him and Carlo I would be ok with it but too much was left on the table for a player who may not have the skill or hockey smarts to be an NHL player.

Hard to believe this line when you refer to him as the "super sniper" and constantly belittle him because his AHL stats aren't great.

Always intrigued by later round picks that have a chance to play in the WJC. Especially a guy like Mantykivi. Hopefully he makes it.

Give the players a dental plan
Bruins have come a long way since the Jacobs is a cheap SOB but this is ridiculous
Poor J-Stud. Good looking kid but looks like my daughters second grade school picture missing her front two teeth
Unbelievable
