General manager Don Sweeney spoke to the media this morning to discuss the 2021-22 season and what his plans are for the offseason this summer. After listening to Sweeney, it feels like there are even more questions to be asked than there were before.
First, he discussed the future of Bergeron:
I get that "Plan A" is to bring back Bergeron and sign him for even just one more season, but should you not have a backup plan? He also discussed the series against the Carolina Hurricanes and how they need to review the areas that need improvement but didn't list what needs to be improved. Does he even know?
Sweeney has mentioned previously of the possibility of a Boston Bruins and David Krejci reunion. He was asked about that situation:
Again, kind of an open-ended answer, in my opinion. He confirms that he kept in touch but will wait for Krejci to call him and that he hasn't even checked in on him in "several months." If there's any chance of Krejci coming back, I feel like that's something Sweeney should be on top of.
You can watch a piece of his press conference here:
I just wish Don Sweeney could articulate a real plan for the Boston Bruins. He's traded away lots of picks. The prospect pool is low in upside potential currently, besides Fabian Lysell and maybe one or two others. Bruins also have cap problems and the unknown situation of 37.
Why doesn't he have a plan? Is that too hard to ask?
