As the Bruins strive for playoff positioning, General Manager Don Sweeney expressed cautious optimism during a TNT broadcast. He acknowledged the team's slow start and highlighted how injuries, particularly to Hampus Lindholm, have impacted performance. Sweeney emphasized the need to improve the team while navigating potential trade decisions before the March 7 deadline. He forewarned that further injuries or lack of success could necessitate a different strategy, potentially leading to a sell-off of assets, a departure from their win-now focus.
It's been a little unique for us this year, getting out of the gate not as fast as we would like. We're in the middle of things.
If we have more injuries or we don't do the job between now and the deadline, we may have to take a different path.
You've got to battle through it, got to find a way while I'm out there trying to improve our club.
It's a tough exercise to sort of play both sides of the street, but that's almost every year what a general manager is required to do.
