Boston Bruins fans furious with the organizations latest move with GM Don Sweeney
Boston Bruins fans are not too happy with the organization after the recent move they made with General Manager Don Sweeney.
The 2024-25 season was the worst season for the Boston Bruins since the 2006-07 season. The Bruins had some very high expectations entering the 2024-25 season but fell short and ended up missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Even though they had a very disappointing year, the organization made the controversial decision to sign General Manager Don Sweeney to a contract extension.
Sweeney was set to enter his final year on his deal with the Boston Bruins, but the front office made the decision that Don Sweeney deserves a new two-year contract extension.
"Don has navigated a disappointing period for our club with conviction, purpose, and a clear vision toward the future of the Boston Bruins," Bruins President Cam Neely said in a statement, via Boston.com. "He made difficult decisions around the trade deadline with the confidence they will pay dividends as we craft a path back to contention."
Boston Bruins fans were not happy with how the NHL trade deadline went down for the Bruins, which saw some longtime players like Brad Marchand get traded to the Florida Panthers, a divisional rival of the Boston Bruins.
Other key players were also traded in Trent Frederic, Brandon Carlo, and Charlie Coyle, as well as others.
