Our prospects/futures rank at the bottom of the league. This is catching up with us already.
Too many times we let UFAs simply walk away for nothing or trade them for next to nothing.
Time to fill the cupboard back up.

Bruins could make deals and still miss, time to restock the cupboards.

Just wished Sweeney wasn’t the one doing the shopping!

TOTALLY we let guys go we know we are not resigning time to trade them for anything

 

[DKH]

Trade all 20 players

Sabres blue print
Tage
Tuch
Peterka
Cozins
Kulich
Quinn
Power
Dahlin
Bowman
Rosen
Ostlund
Benson
Helenius

This is what the Bruins need - young freakin talent

14 years forget it but 5-7 we can do

Build it right ~ gotta pick top 5 like Pens

5 Ryan Whitney
1 Fleury
1 Crosby
2 Malkin
2 Staal

I’d rather do the Penguins approach

Pretty simple.

Do they make the cut or not?

In the spirit…

I WANT the Bruins to make the playoffs. I never want to see them out. I don’t like it when they suck. I wanted to see more of a shakeup in the offseason when Coyle looked like an asset (coming off a big season) and Carlo could have been dealt without question in an effort to reshape the defense and add a couple of players who could move the puck.

But when that didn’t happen and my worst fears about the roster were worse than I imagined… I still wanted Sweeney to TRY to mix it up. Make a play to diversify the Bruins skillsets. I still don’t believe this is a bad roster - just too one-dimensional to be successful. I looked at the team and I didn’t see one that was missing the playoffs. Just one that could struggle especially if they got behind the score.

But now? I think it’s too late. Empty suit behind the bench. A total inability to build on the few good games they’ve had. Massive regression from players who were reliable just one season ago. There’s no saving them now. Too far gone.

So if he doesn’t factor in to a future vision of the team - dump him. That’s players by the deadline. That’s eventually coaching and management. Give the Bruins a shot at turning this around next season and get back into the playoffs. Eye on the draft. Eye on 2025-2026 and beyond. They blew it this year both by what they did in the offseason… and what they failed or were unwilling to do during the season.
