Management Don Sweeney - State of the Bruins - 2/23/25

[BTO]

Just in. A personal message from Don Sweeney in reference to this post:

"I've been made aware of @Aussie Bruin 's recent comments regarding my recent comments.

I'm not sure what you mean. And by that, what I'm referencing is a general lack of knowledge as to exactly what your words mean when strung together in a sentence. Or should I say a group of words grouped together and generally consisting of a some nouns, a few verbs, and in some cases perhaps an adverb or two. However, I'd also like to point out that an adverb is not at all a prerequisite for verbal communication. Or written communication, for that matter.

Still, I think you get the point. At least I hope you get the point - or the general gist - of what I'm trying to say.

And if so, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know what my point is. I seem to have misplaced it. Lost my train of thought, so to speak.

And when I use the word train, I use it as an euphemism for the general sense of what I was talking about. I don't mean an actual train as that would be silly. Although I do like trains. I have a set in my office that goes choo choo as it chugs around the desk. It's not a real train, as that too would be silly. It's just a little train which I drive cautiously. Not too cautiously. Just a little cautiously. But that could change. Tomorrow, next week, or even later today. I could drive it much more aggressively - it's definitely within my skill set. However, there's no timetable to that decision. If I'm honest, I'm trying to wrestle with the takeout menu for lunch today. The menu for lunch that I will purchase and then "take out" -- or should I say "take back" -- to my office. To do my job - which as you can clearly see, I am doing.

I hope I've addressed your concerns - that is, assuming, that I correctly interpreted your words as concerns. If they were just a comment, please disregard this message as it probably isn't germane to what you were getting at.

I hope that clarifies things."

Beautiful.

I don't blame him at all for going all in during those years the Bruins were a Cup contender, I wouldn't want a GM who didn't do that, but this team has been one step forward two steps back and vice - versa all season, if he was going to make a splash and add he should of done that weeks if not months ago. Today its more than apparent given the health of this team, and the product they put on the ice, coupled that, with an empty cupboard of prospect, its time to sell and recoup some of those assets.

There's and old saying. Don't put all the eggs in one basket

“We're just going to take a little more cautious approach in terms of as being aggressive as we have been in the past.”

Gotta luv it lol.

You aren’t the only one who didn’t get this I had a friend tell me he didn’t get what he was saying

Previous years if we were very good we went all in - Nash, Jagr, Bertuzzi, Orlov, Hathaway in 23

If the team is middling or not strong we won’t be trading first round picks, prospects at the deadline

It's as clear as mud, which is why we get it but don't. Be more cautious in terms of being aggressive? Aggressively cautious? Cautiously aggressive? Wtf Don lol. There is a much simple and clearer way of saying that and not sounding like a non-sequiturial corporate weenie.

If he's out washing his car this morning while you are walking your cat over to the yogurt bar, tell him I said so
