Management Don Sweeney III

[Marcobruin]

Bet you didn’t mind the Belesky deal after the first season. The Backes deal I think everyone was concerned about the term. Other than that, he is in the develop mindset that a lot of GM’s aren’t. He has the advantage of being in a college hockey hotbed. It’s his back yard.

Actually nope .. I didn't have much care for Beleskey before and after the signing. Not as bad as Backes though.

I really gotta give Kudos to Sweeny . I just love the way he manages this team. Learned from his early mistakes and has been working magic lately.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Getting Mac under 5 million is fantastic.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Stud GM. Haters will hate this and they can suck it.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Nice way to start his GM of the year defense title.

Awesome McAvoy deal.

 

[Fenian24]

I will give credit where it is due, great deal by Sweeney on McAvoy. Now deal Heinen for Anderson

Just can't help yourself. You don't think heinen is anything special but feel he holds value to get a guy like Anderson. Makes sense.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Once Werenski signed his deal ($15 mil for 3 year) McAvoy really had no leverage.

Heinen is the better all around player. Anderson is grossly overrated in my humble view

Unless someone needs to be plastered along the boards, I'd rather have Heinen on the ice over Anderson.

 

[PB37]

Fantastic!

Any news on Carlo?

Heinen -- Coyle -- Anderson

That would be a great third line.

Did you mean underrated?

Or that was what a 3 year deal was worth.

Even though I would definitely do that deal, I have to admit the irony in saying this player sucks, let's trade him for a good player.

The only time I noticed him vs the Bruins in the playoffs is when Chuckie knocked him over to Cleveland. Heinen wins you more games.

One would think a team as soft as the Bruins ,Anderson would have a least stood out more and not in a bad way.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Both guys had bad playoffs. Anderson had a much better regular season. It would take a lot more then Heinen in a trade

 

[Therick67]

I like Heinen, but I'd make that deal. Anderson is big (6'4'") young (25) and his goal totals have increased each year. Bruins top 9 isn't very physical and lacks size.

 

[Estlin]

As if Columbus, which lost Duchene, Panarin and Dzingel in the off season, is going to trade Anderson. The Blue Jackets will need all the offensive help that it can get.

Anderson had some fantastic regular season games against the Bruins where he was blowing by the Bruins defense and crashing the net. I would agree that his post season against the Bruins was pretty bleh.

He also went toe to toe with Chara, which i respect.

I'd take him over Heinen 10/10 times.

Yeah, and if you don't want 25+ goals, 200+ hits and a guy who isn't afraid to do a ton of dirty work.

I don't dislike Anderson and wouldn't mind him on the Bruins, but I wouldn't trade Heinen straight up for him. Anderson clearly does some things better, mainly in the physicality department, but I think Heinen is the better all-around player. You probably don't agree, and you are not alone in that either. Different strokes and all that

 

[Therick67]

Anderson is a better goal scorer..

 

[Dr Hook]

Anderson is a better goal scorer..

Right now, but Heinen has a laser shot. He just needs to use it more. Put him in a top 6 role like Anderson where he gets opportunities and he'll put up 20+ and he is a way better passer than Anderson. But again, fan mileages may vary.

You think he can, but Anderson is actually doing it and his numbers have improved each season. I like Heinen, but Anderson gives the Bruins something they lack...
