Sweeney Neely Cassidy fired

Team: 2022-23 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 4, 2022

Published: Jan. 4, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

This management team is horrific, and pretty much have been from day one. Clean house. It’s the only way to move on from some of the recent mistakes Sweeney has made.
The Signings:
Bergeron gets an easily attainable (low games played) performance bonus bringing his total contract to $6M, allowing the team to add at the deadline with a carry over if necessary.
Hertl: I’m sure there are some wackadoos that somehow think he’s an $8M player, but i just don’t think the bidding gets that aggressive on him. I think $7M is probably the max he gets
Lindholm: I think he’s a perfect fit with McAvoy. I’m hoping he hits UFA.

Room for a couple forwards to be added as scratches. Also room for Moore to be moved out for cap savings if necessary.

Trades:
Debrusk goes to Seattle where they have the opportunity to give him a one year trial in the top six to see if he can get back to that 30 goal pace scoring. Reilly has been good, he’s been bad. Normally I would be fine with the bruins keeping him, but they need to make room on the left side. Very minimal risk for seattle.
Coyotes get a little closer to the cap floor with an okay player. It just hasn’t worked in boston. Coyotes move up a round, and a year in the draft.
The Kuemper experiment hasn’t worked in Colorado. Ullmark hasn’t necessarily been bad in boston. The numbers are pretty good, and hes cost controlled. But Tuukka is the best goaltender in franchise history. He and swayman form a duo with Swayman slowly taking more and more starts.
