Thread: This is a Bruins rant that I need to get off my chest
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BreKel</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>okayokayokay</b></div><div><i>I completely agree that Sweeny and Neely are the problem. The reason I believe them to be the problem is they have no clue of relative value. Trading guys like Hamilton, Smith and Lucic for lesser players and picks made no sense if they wanted to be a playoff team. If we were rebuilding those are fine trades, but then you also trade Eriksson at the deadline even if the return was only a 2nd round pick and you sure as hell don't give up a 2nd 3rd 4th 5th and a prospect who was picked in the 3rd round for 2 guys who aren't difference makers, one of which you didn't even have to foresight to sign for free eventhough you had him in for a tryout at the start of the year. They are basically a couple of spoiled brats who got corrupted by our fluke Stanley Cup while they were on the staff and getting an upclose view of how not to assemble a team by Chiarelli. Chiarelli's deadline was basically one big trade that year. A 1st round pick, a conditional 1st round pick, Joe Colbourne, Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart for Tomas Kaberle, Rich Peverly and a junk AHLer. Had it been a 3 team trade instead of shipping out Wheeler and Stuart for Peverly , the junk dman and Cap Space to be able to bring in Kaberle, it would rank as one of the worst trades in NHL history. We won despite Chiarelli's epic blunder of moves and the result is several clueless people getting a shot to be GM in the NHL. Hello Don Sweeny, Jeff Gorton, Jim Benning and Peter Chiarelli. Possiblely more already and surely more to come. They are singlehandedly watering down the NHL with impaired decisions. The worst thing that could happen this year is another Stanley Cup obtained by a large margin of luck and despite terrible asset management, because that would mean they would be here to stay for a long time. We could then be looking at finishing in the position I call the Spot of death. Just a game or two from making the playoffs, yet not bad enough to get an impactful rookie with a premium top 5 type draft pick. Things need to change soon.</i></div></div>

I have no energy to rebuttal this horrendous post.

Lawls.... That's all i got to say. Lawls</i></div></div> Brekel you are basically the only Bruins fan who insists Sweeny is doing an adequate job. The truth is he's bad at what he's doing and likely won't be back after we miss the playoffs again this year. I really question if you know hockey at all because your post's are always more about enjoying the smell of your own farts than sharing logic or factual evidence. Sweeny is terrible and so is the whole Chiarelli tree of GM's. Sweeny's incompetence is even more highlighted by the fact that other Boston teams have great GM's. The Sox, the Celtics and the Patriots have top 10 GM's, while the Bruins have a bottom five type sucker who makes poor decisions continuously. You can go down with Sweeny's ship, but you're going to look like a total chump when he gets fired and you flip opinions on him. Why not get out ahead of the situation? Do you honestly think he's done a job that would rank him among the top 20 GM's in the league? While remembering there are only a total of 30.
