Bruins Trade Deadline

Transcript

00:00four games to go until the deadline do you think there'll be players at the deadline do you think

00:04they want to add do you think they want to improve so there's two there's two schools of thought here

00:08right one is that don sweeney has always said that if the team proves worthy of it he will make

00:14an

00:14investment he's been pretty he's been pretty consistent in that right and so this team

00:20currently in the playoffs you know four points above the playoff line right now they're worthy

00:25of an investment now what level of investment that's the question right and this brings me

00:29back to what cam neely said at media day cam neely said we don't want to make the playoffs just

00:34to

00:34make the playoffs we want to be an actual threat when we get there can you make a move between

00:39now

00:39and next friday that makes you in your opinion an actual threat i don't know right and so what i

00:47can

00:47tell you is that these first round picks they have right now i do think they're burning a hole in

00:51their

00:51pocket i do think they want to trade one of them i i do think that they are they feel

00:56that okay we're

00:57a decent team we need we need help here and here maybe we trade one of these picks sweeney's never

01:03i don't think ever had four first round picks in his possession at a deadline before you know like

01:08and so i think they are burning his burning a hole in his pocket plus pressures on him and cam

01:12now too

01:12yeah exactly he's at a critical point in his career with the team and that you know he did get

01:17that

01:17extension but the length of it is uh a variable and it's unknown i mean i've said it it could

01:23be

01:23shorter three years ago when they were loaded and he just loaded up and i thought yeah that was three

01:27years so yeah it's yeah but but i've said it i related to that extension i've said it before like

01:33and this might be simplifying it to it was two years right sorry so it's known so yeah it is

01:39a

01:39timeline here so his previous extension was for four years his current one is for two years now we want

01:44to simplify it they believe in him half as much as they did when they gave him his last contract

01:48that might be too simple too simplifying i understand that but like he's on a clock here he's on a

01:53clock

01:53they miss the playoffs i always say they want to be relevant right like ownership is mad when they're

01:58not relevant missing the playoffs two years in a row you're not relevant

02:01you're not relevant

02:02you're not relevant
