Don Sweeney, his strength is adding at the deadline.
00:03
His strength is trading a draft pick, because he sucks at drafting, for a roster player.
00:08
And they have, you know, it seems a good, they're good with NHL personnel.
00:14
Not so much with, you know, scouting junior hockey and college hockey, but they have a
00:19
good evaluation at the NHL level for the trades they've made.
00:23
Well now Sweeney's going to do the opposite thing.
00:25
Now he's going to retool it and tear it down to a degree, or at least sell minorly and
00:30
try to seek out prospects on other teams and pluck guys from this team here and identify
00:35
which team he's going to get a better draft pick out of.
00:37
And I don't know that that's his strength.
00:39
So all right, fine.
00:40
Let's say the Bruins realize they got to sell.
00:43
Let's say they realize that they have to retool things, to use Cam Neely's words.
00:48
Is Sweeney the guy to do that?
00:50
And if it's not Sweeney, who's in charge, like who do you feel good about doing that
00:53
for the Bruins?
00:54
I mean, if you're in charge right now, and then you got Cam kind of, you would think
00:57
kind of in lockstep with him, but also has more job security than Sweeney does.
01:02
They bring in Chara for a role that I think we're still trying to figure out a little
01:05
bit.
01:06
Do you feel like that's looming over any of this in any way?
01:07
I mean, I feel like Char's like six nights, but he's looming over everybody just at all
01:10
times.
01:11
Like he feels like a guy who would be looming.
01:12
Yeah, he's looming.
01:13
You know, to me it was, it was kind of odd timing that he kind of shows up.
01:19
Like is, is that what he wants to do?
01:20
Like, I don't even know what his thing is.
01:22
Like, does he want to be a GM?
01:24
Does he want to be a team president?
01:25
Does he want to just be like in the hockey, like maybe longer term, but like, he's not,
01:29
he's not pulling the strings on any moves at this deadline, I wouldn't think, or like
01:32
influence anything behind the scenes.
01:34
I wouldn't imagine he is, um, speaking of the trade deadlines, the last five years I
01:39
was looking at their draft picks and it is, it's pretty amazing.
01:42
So going back to 2020, they meaning like this is what they traded away.
01:46
Right.
01:47
So like what they didn't have that year.
01:48
So they didn't have their first round or their fourth round.
01:51
And then in 2021 they didn't have their second round pick.
01:54
Okay.
01:55
In 2022 they didn't have their first or their third and 23 they didn't have their first
01:59
or their second or their fifth.
02:00
And then last year they didn't have their second or their third.
02:03
So like constantly trading at least two of their first four picks.
