Who did you want with the 14th in 2016?
Did anybody want Pastrnak at 25?
Three passes on Barzal. It should have been strike three and Don is gone for that alone. How can you call it a fake cup? No families, no crowd and basically no anything. To me that cup was very difficult based on circumstances alone. Far from fake.NHL Power Rankings: Ranking the NHL general managers
Didn’t Yzerman sign those Carle & Callahan deals that led to buyouts and chicanery?
They won the fake Cup but are a financial mess
same for Armstrong- amazing amount of bad contracts and love Krug but he’s not Pietrangelo
Sweeney basically one horrible move - Barzal pass
everything else would have worked out

What are your thoughts on Brian Burke? I know you have expressed lately that you want a tougher team. Burke would instantly take care of that issue although it would likely involve signing Brad May.
What about giving up 4 draft picks for Liles/Stempniak AND holding onto Loui Eriksson the same deadline, when anyone with a pulse could see that team was going absolutely nowhere? They didnt even make the playoffs for f***s sake. That approaches 2015 draft levels of incompetence. Absolutely mind bending.NHL Power Rankings: Ranking the NHL general managers

Bottom line with all these guys they mess upWhat about giving up 4 draft picks for Liles/Stempniak AND holding onto Loui Eriksson the same deadline, when anyone with a pulse could see that team was going absolutely nowhere?

Bottom line with all these guys they mess up
look at Belichick
Sweeney has horrible moves which is true of that top 5 list
there were Yzerman Fire threads on Tampa HF board
I would like the job lol
I can tell you my bottom 6 would not be taking shit
The Rangers have 14 mill in dead money on the books this season. Wow, that is unreal. Who was it that said they would rather have Gorton as the GM?

I am a Burke guy but I believe Neely went home and spent the night with his head in the toilet throwing up after watching Washington bitch slap the Bruins last January ironically in a game the Bruins won on the scoreboard but visually felt like a 10-0 loss
I’d like to see Sweeney tell the WHL, QMJHL, OHL, and European Bruins scouting to submit a list of three players who are the best combination is character, skill, and toughness.
I would draft rounds 3-5 every year regardless of position these types figuring I’ll stick a couple
I’m a fan of Frederic, Lauzon, and Studnicka who can be abrasive
I want more
ideally I’d like to get a guy like Tom
Wilson on the top 6 who can wreck havoc
Speaking of both Burke and the "fake cup"... Andy Strickland tweeted today that Brian Burke said that Tampas cup win deserves an asterisk because it was harder to win. Just sayin'.Three passes on Barzal. It should have been strike three and Don is gone for that alone. How can you call it a fake cup? No families, no crowd and basically no anything. To me that cup was very difficult based on circumstances alone. Far from fake.

There were a couple strike-shortened seasons where only 48 games were played. Those were called Stanley Cups wins.It was interesting to see the various reactions when the playoff plan was unfolding.
I was against calling it a Stanley Cup playoff primarily because they chucked, to a large extent, seeding based on regular season play, allowed more teams, etc etc. I preferred it be called something else. 2020 NHL Championship series. Anything. Play it if ya want. Don’t call it the Stanley Cup as if this year is not different from the past. Hell, maybe drop the whole idea altogether.
Others absolutely railed against any sort of post season given what was happening outside of hockey.
Still others said who cares, we win it, it’s legit. Funny. I’ve seen a few change their “view”completely now that their team didn’t win it.
Agree it was a tough title to win, but the best team won. It’s, in my view, a legit “title” even if I’m still hung up on semantics and purity of the Cup name.
