Boston Bruins' Front Office Should Take Notes on Other Boston Team
In order to have a successful offseason a team should be able to shake things up, no one team is exactly the same one season to the next.
With that in mind, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney and team president Cam Neely should take a look at their co-shares of TD-Garden.
Boston Hockey Now brought this to everyone's attention with «Murphy: Sweeney/Neely Need To Follow Stevens' Lead» - Jimmy Murphy, 6/22/23
Boston Celtics president of basketball operations, Brad Stevens made an earth shattering move midnight Thursday.
Stevens and the Celtics made a move in order to shake up their roster and keep things fresh, The Celtics, Washington Wizards, and Memphis Grizzlies managed a three-team trade that moved center Kristaps Porzingis to the Celtics, longtime Celtics guard, Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies, and guard Tyus Jones to the Wizards.
Additionally, the Wizards sent their first-round pick (25th overall) to the Celtics in the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday night and the Golden State Warriors' top-four-protected first-round pick in the 2024 draft.
The Celtics then traded the 35th pick in the draft to the Wizards in return. The Celtics also traded forward Danilo Gallinari and center Mike Muscala to Washington.
Why Does This Effect the Boston Bruins?
ESPN/NBA analyst Brian Windhorst said, «They (Celtics) are changing the shape of their team by making this trade, but they are also admitting that the shape of their team wasn't a championship team.»
Which is what the Bruins have already begun to do partially at least. Don Sweeney has already addressed his choices and knows that changes will come this offseason.
The end goal is to still bring a Stanley Cup to Boston, with or without captain Patrice Bergeron and longtime Bruins center David Krejci if they choose to retire.
The Bruins will need to replace those two valuable players and time has come for the Don Sweeney � Cam Neely regime to seriously shake things up if they want to bring that Stanley Cup to fruition.
By no means should the Boston Bruins be headed into a complete rebuild with or without some key pieces, but with or without them, Sweeney and Neely need to make a statement over the next two weeks.
