Management Questions Media Should Ask Sweeney at 6:30 Deadline Presser

[Coach Parker]

Pretty simple:

As a question here you'd hope the reporters would ask Sweeney at the media availability today at 6:30. You can be serious and give actual questions you think he'd answer OR have some fun with it and ask questions here to lighten the mood here on HF!

1. Do you believe a major top six forward will be moved before the deadline?

 

[Coach Parker]

Which 3-4 teams outside of Boston do you believe have been the most active trying to make a move?

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

I mean... day before deadline, Sweeney should be working the phones, not talking to the media!

(It's not a huge deal... but unless he's got something lined up, it looks even worse if he doesn't do anything to waste time telling the media he's not doing anything).

I don't mind it as long as the questions actually are met with intelligent responses...and the questions themselves perhaps provide insight into the current market.

What's it feel like to see your plan coming into focus?

I'm hesitant to think it's anything but lip service. I'd rather hear nothing than hear, paraphrased, "It's hard to make moves, trading is hard. " It's his job to make it work, and talking to the media during a prime date to be working seems like a fool's errand. Even if he doesn't get a deal done, we can at least pretend he was working the night before.

Just my two cents.

Unless he's announcing a trade (maybe Vrbata is joining the team when he gets in? not advocating the trade, just saying why address the media now?), this conversation/press conference could easily be had tomorrow.

 

[Dr Quincy]

1) What long time conventional wisdom hockey tactic/belief do you think needs to be scrapped?

2) Do you enjoy the roses and candy that DKH sends you every week? : )

I literally broke out laughing because I knew you were going to post this or something close to it. Love it!

Are planning to get sleep tonight? If so wanna go to Dunkin and get a coffee and red bull???

 

[Coach Parker]

Given that you appear to want to develop the prospects and aim for the future, which prospects do you feel are ready to make a transition to the NHL and fight for a job next year?

 

[Blowfish]

Which of our NCAA kids will be playing in the playoffs this year?

 

[Coach Parker]

Which prospects do you receive the most calls for?

Do you have full authority to make trades or does Cam Neely have to approve of any trades?

Have you been given the vote of confidence from ownership if you miss the playoffs for the third year in a row?

 

[BNHL]

Are you related to DB Sweeney? How about Steve Sweeney?

 

[Greek_physique]

Do you wish you fired Julien sooner?

 

[Blowfish]

Will Koko be back in time for AHL playoff run?

 

[Coach Parker]

Nice! Some real questions here.

Is there a player available that you like that you feel the price is still too high to acquire?

 

[Coach Parker]

What's it feel like to see your plan coming into focus?

Adding onto this:

When should Bruins fans expect this focus to become reality? Is 2018-2019 the goal?

 

[JEM28]

Question I'd love someone to ask:

Q: "Mr. Sweeney, can you comment on whether it is difficult to deal with the outside pressure to make a trade for the sake of making a trade, when you are beginning to see the fruits of your labor in terms of restocking the prospect pool and reinvigorating the team's style of play."

A: "It's not difficult at all...I just stay off HF Boards and ignore the "experts" Tweets"

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

What is your go to salad dressing?

 

[Brewins]

If you're planning on an acquisition, do recent moves and/team play change whether you are looking to get someone now, or at the draft/offseason/free agency?

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Is there any way to watch this online ?

 

[Saxon Eric]

Was that Sobotka I saw at Logan airport ?

 

[LouJersey]

Is Sarah Davis single?
