The happy genius of my household
It’s obligatory and it’s here. Good, bad, indifferent, brilliant, atrocious. It’s the annual “Grade the GM” thread.
For some reason I can't "like" this post, but I want to.Stop renting players on first round picks, especially when it's obvious to everybody in the room the Bruins are not the favorites to win. There's a lot of rookies who will experience their first playoff run this year. Losing Lindgren is a huge risk, in my opinion. Effectively, we got Iginla v2.
My only solace is knowing that Sweeney reaches wildly with the first round pick anyways, so more than likely we probably lost out on 60th overall with that part of the deal.

First round picks for two months of an over-the-hill vet is beyond stupid. It will look 100 times worse when we get bounced in the first round. You're right that he would have reached on the pick anyways.
Absolutely.For argument sake does your opinion change if they win the cup or go to the finals?
Do I feel substantially worse about the team’s future assets? Nope.
Do I feel substantially better about the current roster? You bet.
Did he accurately target the areas I felt could have been targeted? Absolutely.
A.
I gave him a D. The only reason I didn't go lower is that he got rid of Vatrano and Spooner and added Wingles. The rest was F-.
