Lindholm looks better than Charlie. I know he’s getting paid 8 mill but worth every Penny
I don't think Sweeney is done yet honey, wait till June and stfu !!!
Tyler Bertuzzi's 50 percent contract value in a deal for Trent Fredrick and a pick at the line after you move Mike Reilly to Arizona leaves your forward core loaded. I feel like the Wings are going to sell and the Bruins are prime to pick at the pieces that fall off. Zacha must have impressed the Bruins brass that is a nice-looking contract he signed. Good luck Bruins do not be shy to make your team better at the line the playoffs are a battle of attrition fought by the men willing to go the necessary distance to provide victory. 🫎
The Hall, Uhlmark, Lindholm and Sacha signings saved Sweeney’s bacon.
Bruins have no depth at D. They won’t play Zorbil. Nothing in Providence you’d play in the playoffs
🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
2015 will always hang over him but man he’s made some awesome moves. Lindolm is probably the best but Zacha and Hall are right behind him. If the Bruins don’t come out Lazy and ill prepared for game 7 against the Blues than the perception of Sweeney is very different. I blame Cassidy more than Sweeney for a lot and I’ll die on that bill.
Still crying over Mitchy
Zacha is great, but Lindholm has to be the best trade he’s made. I would say hall just bc he was so cheap, but he only wanted to go to Boston so Sweeney didn’t have to do much
The Lucic for Martin Jones and 1st round pick with Jones then being flipped for another 1st is his best trade IMO.
Lindholm trade!
2015 draft = Debrusk, Carlo, Zacha(trade)… better than every one except Edmonton (Mcdavid) and Carolina (Hanifin, Aho)
in Sweeney's first year as GM, they were fighting to make the playoffs. which they did not. he had a chance to move Loui Eriksson which had zero chance of resigning. teams were interested in. i believe it was St.louis offered a first a good prospect and a roster player for Eriksson. teams in that position have to make hard decisions like Washington just did. took short term lumps for success in the future.
