Why the Bruins’ Bold 2025 Draft Strategy Could Change the NHL Forever
The Boston Bruins have not been afraid to take risks during Don Sweeney’s 10-year career as general manager.
Sweeney has shown little hesitation to make big deals at the trade deadline, often shipping out first- and second-round draft picks for short-term veteran help. He also hasn’t been afraid to spend lots of money in free agency. He dished out large contracts to players such as David Backes, Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov, among others.
When the Bruins got to the 2025 trade deadline with no hopes of extending their playoff appearance streak, Sweeney made the difficult but wise decision to move several longtime Bruins veterans — including captain Brad Marchand — for future assets like draft picks and prospects.
