Don Sweeney Bruce Cassidy Bruins - The Boston Globe
Bruins general manager Don Sweeney confirmed Thursday, in the midst of his season-wrapup news conference at TD Garden, that his assistant GM, John Ferguson Jr., has been approached by other NHL clubs about taking over their front office.
The Minnesota Wild, who recently dismissed Cliff Fletcher, are still looking for a new boss.
The Carolina Hurricanes were conducting a search to replace Ron Francis as GM, but earlier this week they promoted from within and named Don Waddell, the former Thrashers GM, as their new boss.
Ferguson, who is also GM of the Bruins’ AHL affiliate in Providence, once was the Toronto Maple Leafs GM.
Just watching the Sweeney press conference. I had no idea that a Harvard guys would constantly go Uhhhhhhhh, we Uhhhhhhhhh, and Uhhhhhh as much as he did. At least he tossed the injury excuse out there first. Yeah, no other teams have those to deal with.
Cassidy was the bright spot. Great, great coach. We're lucky to have him going into next season.
Sweeney looks to have aged 15 years since the last time I saw him. His face looks like the Clementine orange that works it's way to the bottom of the crisper in your fridge and sits there for a year or so.
I didn't mock anyones health.You speak about your health in one thread and mock others about theirs.
Sorry, I cannot take anything you post seriously or with any validity
I wish Sweeney showed a bit more "fire"
Cassidy said all the right things.
In terms of the question if the roster will filled from within....Sweeney didn't sound as optimistic as he did in last years end presser.
"Donato, Bjork need to earn the job" ..like he wasn't satisfied or something
Bruins have good depth of young prospect but the reality is that none were as productive as Heinen or Debrusk were the season prior down at Providence. Or are too young and could use a full season down at Providence (Frederic etc)
