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

[Fenway]

Even by Bruins standards, the silence on Sweeney's status this late in June is uncharted territory. The 2022 NHL Draft is 15 days away so something is not right.

My hunch is the suits in Buffalo were caught off guard by the negative reaction to Cassidy being made the scapegoat followed by Vegas hiring him 8 days later.

If Sweeney is out there is only one way they can go this late in the process - Cam remains as President but also becomes the GM.

It's doomsday Zaius, doomsday.

 

[Fenway]

It's doomsday Zaius, doomsday.

Cam said on May 19th that we should have a deal with Don in a couple of days and Don would have the final say on Cassidy but also said we need changes.

 

[Spooner st]

That makes no sense whatsoever. The Jacob's cleaning house close to the draft and FA would also make no sense... letting Neely running the show... we might have a clean FO sooner than expected. Maybe Dan (dkh) becomes an assistant manager to help Neely?

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

That is strange that Neely said something about a deal being done "in the next few days" and here we are 5 weeks later with nothing, yet the draft is in about 2 weeks from now.

Heaven help us.

I think I'll start following Cricket.

That is funny

Cam Neely was put on this planet to be an all
Time great power forward but I think he wants to work as hard and long in a day as I do which isn’t a lot if any

 

[Fenway]

The saddest thing is I am not reaching here

Trust me, I have no doubt.

Really goes to show the lack of other employment options available to Sweeney. Typically when an employer lets your contract expire, but wants you to keep working anyway while they decide if they care to keep you or not, you tell them to go screw. At least when you have any sort of parallel option. What Neely is doing to Sweeney right now is truly a public humiliation.

 

[DaStinger]

Just when I get my hopes up they will announce an extension. I won't start hoping yet...

 

[Bruinaura]

We're gonna need a lot more cookies.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

You know this means they’ll announce his contract extension today right?

 

[Saxon Eric]

I think they're waiting to bundle it with other "Good" news

There is a worse, dumber and more unsettling option -- but I don't dare say it.

Need a puke emoji....

 

[bp14]

You know what, I’d take that scenario. I think Neely would be terrible, but if it’s the quickest way to get rid of both of these guys, let’s do it.

 

[mjhfb]

Pure speculation, but another option that wouldn't surprise me would be the Bruins keep DS but move him from GM to some other made up important title.

Like the Habs did to Bergevin.

They'll fire Neely as well?
