Management Don Sweeney - Media Update ( 7/22/21 )

[CharaBadSenyshynGawd]

I know it’s not possible but Kase should be making 70k at the nhl level. If he picks up a 2nd job in his off time (11.5 months out of the year) he could easily afford to live in Boston still

Murphy: Why Has Don Sweeney Been Hesitant On NHL Trade Market?

I know it's Murphy, but I can't say I really disagree with him on this one. Although, maybe he should have opened his mouth and asked Sweeney a tough question. The amount of verbal slight of hand that came out of Sweeney's mouth in that presser was obscene and the press let him get away with it.

That's because the Boston hockey media (except for a couple) are sorely lacking in the subject matter. The on-air media for example (again except for a couple) know shit about hockey, the Bruins, prospects yet they spend the ONE hour a week sounding cocky and acting as though they're informed.
If/when a caller asks a question about the draft or God forbid a certain player in the draft they say "well, I don't follow hockey, so I don't know the answer to that" with a chuckle.
One thing that I truly like about this place, besides the education that I get that I wouldn't be privy to is the fact that we're exposed to every opinion on the subject.
The on air people at 98.5 could learn a lot about all of it if they read here. Also, Boston Sports Radio would improve immensely if they hired the likes of Kirk Ludeke, and Jaffe for a daily 4 hour segment.

Wondering what, if any, impact Sweeney’s decision not to tender qualifying offers to Kase and Ritchie has after stating they’d do so.

Do other players/agents take note of this kind of thing?

All part of the job?

Just watched Kirk Leudeke on with the lovely Sophia on NESN After Hours and he gave them an A for draft

Kirk seemed to focus on the top 2 picks and the last 3 (Mast, Gasseau, and Gallagher)

He appears to have talked to Mast who used the lost OHL season to work on his conditioning and body - and is 6’4 and 215 is comparable to Kevan Miller. He will be in the OHL .

Bob Mckenzie top 100 prospects based on a consensus from NHL evaluators had Mast 97-100.

last 2 drafts Boston added Louhri Mast & Gallagher all good sized and intriguing

have to think the only question a potential FA may have to a current Bruin is "do the cheques clear"?
