Welcome to the Jungle
Bergeron would be the GM.
What's Neely's title. If I have Bergeron as GM, there is no way I replace Neely with Lucic. Bergy needs this person to work under him instead of over him and this would be the ideal poistion for Marchand. Bergeron with Neely and Sweeney's title and either Krejci or Marchand as Assistant GM.

Next decade:

Head Coach - Patrice Bergeron
Assistant coaches - Brad Marchand / Adam McQuaid
Goalie Coach - Tuukka Rask
GM - Andrew Ference
Assistant GM - Chris Kelly
President - Zdeno Chara
I love the idea of president Chara. Feel like he could join the org in some capacity and be groomed to take over for Neely when he retires.

Can't see some of the other picks though. I doubt Rask wants to coach, I see him wanting to take some quality family time after retiring. Ference I think would be in some director of community outreach.

I like Kelly and McQuaid as coaches. Bergeron would be a great GM.

Kevan Miller as strength and conditioning coach.

Nice seeing Quader and Kelly out there.

I'm not sure why people think a player's on-ice qualities necessarily transfer to coaching or management skills, or will somehow filter down to the define the collective character of the team. Lots of people think recent Bruins teams are far too soft - and look who the team president is! Was that your expectation when Neely was named Pres?

Chara as GM. I love the idea of him hovering over Dubas type GMs while negotiating a deal, lol.

Jokes aside, I do think you give Chara as much power in the organization as he wants once he gets some front office experience.

They apparently want him
they want Jake too? Looking at salary, Jake's real salary is actually a bit lower this year than Dvorak's. Dvorak actually makes $3.45 last year and same next year but for some reason is set to make $5.075m this year. For a franchise that clearly is more worried about real salary dollars than cap dollars, swapping Jake & futures for Dvorak saves them a little bit of real cash this year and then gets them off the hook for the remainder of Dvorak's deal.

I asked earlier, so sorry for the repeat ask, but is this open to the public? (I read that media was allowed), but if I'm just some random fan, am I allowed to watch?

If you can sell that to Arizona as a good deal, I think the Bruins have a place for you as a consultant on their management team, haha.

i'm not suggesting Debrusk for Dvorak straight up, I'm saying Debrusk as part of the package, which is probably necessary for the dollars to work. The point is that there's some financial benefit to them making that trade assuming it includes a piece like Beecher as well.

It also puts them back in win-now mode, while also looking to the future. The cupboard is already pretty bare, everyone (including Beecher) should be made available and Bs should be willing to overpay for such an acquisition.
