Just now, it was announced that the Boston Bruins organization have re-signed general manager Don Sweeney to a two-year contract extension.

I think it's safe to say that Bruins fans aren't exactly thrilled with this contract extension.
Following an abysmal regular season and questionable trade decisions, it appears that the Bruins are willing to take another gamble on Don Sweeney.

Boston Bruins re-sign Don Sweeney

According to the NHL, Boston Bruins President Cam Neely announced today, May 20, that the organization has signed General Manager Don Sweeney to a two-year contract extension through the 2027-28 season.
«Don has navigated a disappointing period for our club with conviction, purpose, and a clear vision toward the future of the Boston Bruins,» said Bruins President Cam Neely. «He made difficult decisions around the trade deadline with the confidence they will pay dividends as we craft a path back to contention. He is continuing to follow that track with a robust and thorough search for our club's next head coach, while also preparing for the upcoming NHL Draft and free agent signing period. I am confident in the plan he has followed these past few months - and excited for what's to come for our team. The expectations in Boston have always been clear. It's about winning championships.»

«I am very appreciative to Charlie, the entire Jacobs family, and to Cam for their continued trust and support,» said Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney. «It's an honor to be part of a franchise with such a storied history and passionate fanbase. I fully understand and embrace the responsibility that comes with this role. Our fans have high expectations for this team, and so do I. The collective goal is to build a team that makes Bruins fans proud and ultimately brings another Stanley Cup back to Boston.»
