After trading away Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney bristled at the idea that this has moved from a retool to a rebuild. That won’t be decided by what he says;
The Bruins have decisions to make about Brad Marchand and other players. The post Bruins trade deadline updates: What will Don Sweeney do before 3 p.m.? appeared first on Boston.com.
It is officially time to turn the page with the Bruins very close to missing the playoffs since Sweeney’s first season (2015-16) as general manager.
The Bruins were indeed sellers on Tuesday. The first shoe to drop in the trade deadline dealings for the B’s saw Trent Frederic and Max Jones heading to Edmonton in a complicated deal three-way deal with New Jersey.
While GM Don Sweeney may have angered some fans with his trade of captain Brad Marchand, team CEO Charlie Jacobs threw his support behind his hockey operations and the retool/rebuild that Sweeney initiated on Friday with the trades of Marchand, Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo.
