Management Is it possible Sweeney will not be back as GM? No. Sweeney signs extension.

[KrejciMVP]

hottest of hot seats. every move will be under a microscope now

 

[Therick67]

I didn’t think about that but yah this is definitely Public humiliation

Reminds me of Cersi on GoT

Good call

Shame, shame...

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Not interested. Bring in Brian Burke so he can tell everyone to f off

Will bring the truculence.

 

[EverettMike]

I have a hard time thinking they'd name Neely GM. I think they'd just give someone in the organization on the hockey ops side the interim GM title.

But it is definitely weird nothing has been announced yet. I thought once Sweeney axed Cassidy that was it. Only thing I can guess is that the Jacobs family was stunned by the response to the firing and are now questioning if they want Sweeney extended at all.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

If ownership was surprised by the reaction to firing Cassidy then it just proves how disconnected they are from this team.

Maybe it finally sunk with the Jacobs clan that Sweeney spent 10 million dollars of their money last year on Craig Smith, Nick Foligno and Mike Reilly for a grand total of 1 assist in 19 playoff man games.

is that bad?

Need a puke emoji....

I came here ready to say, “Please good Lord, let it happen”.

Then Fenway chimes in that Neely could potentially take over.

He would be worse than Millbury and the Bruins would be set back 20 years if he becomes GM.

Would they not just hand the reins over to Gold on an interim basis?

Why would it bother them? Only the fact that there were playoff games matter, right?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

If the Bruins announce that Sweeney is done and Neely is assuming his role, we should legitimately riot.

That’s saying something with how mediocre Sweeney has been.

f***, this organization needs a lobotomy.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

His seat is ice cold...unfortunately.

As long as he gets Papa Jacobs some playoff gate checks, he's safe. Cam won't do anything without Jacobs' ok, and that won't happen until the wallet feels it

Does Gold know anything about hockey?

He's a lawyer, isn't he?

What if they announce Sweeney is taking GM and President and Neeley's moving to a "senior advisor something or other"? Should I get some hotdogs to cook on the fire in here?

He’s been around a bit for being young. I don’t know if he’s ready for a GM job but I’d say he knows about hockey.

I don't subscribe to that BS line of thinking. Your mistaking me for someone else.

 

[NeelyDan]

It's not public humiliation, and it's not Sweeney being let go - it's them being in cahoots in terms of planning an announcement of more than just the extension and, as usual, shooting themselves in the foot by having no grasp of optics whatsoever.

I’d be slightly less sick, but like the idea of an organizational lobotomy so I’ll stick with that.

They need a full on overhaul. Sweeney over Neely though. But they’re dumb and dumber so it’s like picking death by fire or death by drowning.

The only place this is being looked at as "bad optics" is this board. No one else is worried about it at all.

Maybe they want to wait and pair it with Bergeron's contract and a coach. . . or maybe who the hell knows.

They certainly don't care about optics much. Tight lipped ship over there.

So, never coached or played the game.
