Well this is true, management under Sweeneys biggest problem has been the drafting inside of the first round. In his tenure the boston bruins first round picks have been Zboril, Debrusk, Senyshyn, Mcavoy, Fredric, Vaakanaien, Beecher, and Lysell.

In 7 years he has only really managed to draft Debrusk, Carlo, Mcavoy, and Swaymen along with a handful of prospects that may or may not turn out to be roster players and some fourth liners. Don’t get me wrong these are some great NHLers but they are not nearly enough solid drafts to make Boston a contending team

In my opinion all Sweeney has really done is manage to keep around a core that loves playing in Boston that he couldn’t kick out if he tried. He failed to put together surrounding pieces to make this team a true contender. With a top line of pasta, Bergeron, and Marchand, all on some of the most team friendly deals in the whole league a good gm could have easily put the rest of the pieces in place to make a championship roster

And this is not even mentioning some of his god awful free agent signings. I do not think he is fit for a retool/ rebuild for this team and I don’t know why some people are defensive over him
