Don Sweeney explained the decision that went into the team trading captain Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers for a conditional pick.
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;
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.
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.
The end of an era has arrived for the Boston Bruins. Brad Marchand – the captain of the team, a face of he franchise and the last remaining member of the 2011 Stanley Cup champions – was dealt out of town on Friday.
