Yep.
Just their drafting alone needs to get them fired, you can’t build a vision for rebuild/retool when you can’t draft offense to save your job
From 2015 they’ve had nothing but misses on forwards and the next 2 drafts are going to be the most important for the rebuild
Because they have one of the worst prospect pools in the league and you need to rebuild that..
In Florida example they need to draft their own Barkov& Tkachuk, they can’t afford to trade for those guys so they have to draft them
Trade for Reinhart/Bennett caliber player isn’t good enough to turn them around into contenders but they would take them away from where you can draft your Tkachuk/Barkov the most likeliest
So that’s why, they have a bottom 5 prospect pool+ roster filled with major holes
You try to draft your Tkachuk+ Barkov in the next 18 months and then you try to find yout Bennett/Reinhart with the extra assets you’ve acquired
So in short, you 1st build the base strong enough and then add on it. Not the other way around. With how this season has gone they’ve been given the chance to do so. Don’t ignore it and decide to ”retool on the fly”
You’re completely ignoring my points, and Florida didn’t draft Tkachuk they traded for him.
The bruins can keep their 2026 & 2027 1st and still potentially have as trade assets:
Toronto 2026 1st
Florida conditional 2027 2nd/ 1st
(5) 2nd round picks 2025-27
Minten
Zellers
Mittlestat
Lysell
Poitras

Show me how Florida (or Vegas) used more than the above to acquire Reinhart Verhaege Bennett (3 of their top scorers).
Bruins have a star in his prime in Pastrnak. I’d rather have McAvoy than Ekblad.
Sam Reinhart (center) 94 points last season (57 goals)
Carter Verhaege (wing) 72 points last season
Sam Bennett (center) 50 point checking center
All three of the above were acquired for less than the Boston assets I listed above. If the Bruins were to add a #1 center who could score 57 goals/ 94 points (Reinhart), a 72 point LW (Verhaege) & a 50 point 3rd line checking center (Bennett) this offseason for a few of the above listed assets, and still keeping their own 2026 & 2027 1sts, would you object?? Would it not improve the team?

Don’t tell me hockey trades CANNOT be made. Maybe the team needs a GM who can make them.
