It is officially time to turn the page with the Bruins very close to missing the playoffs since Sweeney’s first season (2015-16) as general manager.
While GM Don Sweeney may have angered some fans with his trade of captain Brad Marchand, team CEO Charlie Jacobs threw his support behind his hockey operations and the retool/rebuild that Sweeney initiated on Friday with the trades of Marchand, Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo.
After trading away Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney bristled at the idea that this has moved from a retool to a rebuild. That won’t be decided by what he says;
Carlo was in the Florida sunshine, convinced he was going to remain a Bruin. The next afternoon, he suited up as a Leaf.
Brandon Carlo had a hand in some bad playoff memories for Leafs fans, while Scott Laughton of Oakville arrives from the Flyers with less recent post-season experience.
