Don Sweeney is no longer a lame duck!
The Bruins announced this morning that the team and their general manager have agreed to a two-year extension of his contract, which will have him on the books through the 2027-2028 season.
Sweeney’s prior deal was up at the conclusion of the 2025-2026 season, and questions about his status at the end-of-season media availability were kind of brushed aside.
Instead of heading into his final season and seeing how things go, the team has elected to give Sweeney a vote of confidence.
Sweeney has been the Bruins’ general manager for a decade now, with this summer being the first time he’s really been tasked for overseeing a rebuild (retool, if you’re being generous).
