Which team has the best front office in ‘big four’ leagues? Execs vote on their peers

This isn't a scientific comparison of front offices, but rather a ranking of which ones are viewed best by their direct competitors.

www.nytimes.com

Peer rankings have Bruins as the 5th best NHL front office. That feels about right.

Fire Don Sweeney.

FWIW, from today's PGT thread:

As noted repeatedly elsewhere, there is not a single player on this roster I would not trade. Especially the big ticket, big names.

There are players I would prefer to keep, of course.

And I am not simply addressing the team's present woes.

Failure to qualify for the post season and reap the expected first round gate, now a very real possibility, may finally sink the SS SweeNeely.

Alternately, first steps toward a radical remake of the varsity and the direction of the Boston Bruins, heretofore an empty exercise in fruitless wheel spinning, would suffice.

As Elliotte Friedman correctly observes, the latter scenario is unlikely, as drastic measures are "not in the DNA" of cautious, careful Professor Sweeney.

Shall detail later, but for the moment it is enough to say that given all that has occurred in nearly a decade at the helm, particularly this season, we may shortly bear witness to the end of an ultimately unsatisfying era.

"Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished," at least for this Bruins fan.

Come summer, 2025, Charlie Jacobs may have to make the hardest choice of his professional life.

If so, I hope he makes the right one.

I wouldn't give Neely a golden parachute. A golden anvil, absolutely... he was a great player but he hasn't been a good President. Not unusual for a former player.

He may have had the idea for the Neely houses, but in the hockey world he is an arrogant, know nothing neanderthal. Good riddance.

Habs fan. I come in peace. I ve been watching the Bruins for 39 years now. I think firing Neely would be a mistake. You guys have had nothing but success with his GMs and Coaches over the years. Neely did not suddenly become a stupid crackhead. Trust him. If you re serious about wanting him gone, be careful what you wish for. It reminds me in the early 2000s when Toronto couldn't get by round 2 with Pat Quinn as GM and coach. Fans claimed he sucked. They fired him and have not been back to round 2 since. That was about 20 years ago.
