'No Chance' Pastrnak Re-Signs With Bruins With Don Sweeney as GM

After the 2019-20 season, Torey Krug’s contract was expiring. Bruins general manager Don Sweeney did not stand in the way of the defenseman’s exit to St. Louis. 

 

A year later, David Krejci’s deal was up. Upon season’s end, Krejci considered relocating his family to Czechia. Sweeney did not make it worth the center’s while to change his mind.

 

In both cases, David Pastrnak was watching.

 

“88 had seen how Don has treated his two best friends,” a source close to Pastrnak wrote The Athletic in a text. “No chance he comes back with Sweens as GM.”

 

Quote

The Bruins have an advantage over the 31 other teams of being able to offer Pastrnak an eight-year max-term extension. One agent believed an eight-year, $68 million deal would be fair for both parties.

 

Whether Pastrnak agrees with that thinking remains to be seen.

 

On July 1, 2019, Artemi Panarin signed a seven-year, $81.5 million contract with the Rangers. Panarin was 27 years old. He had scored 320 points in 322 games. 

 

Next summer, Pastrnak will be 27. He has 504 points in 510 games. Pastrnak led the Bruins with 40 goals in 2021-22.

i didn’t read the entire article but I don’t see how Krug wanting to get paid and krejci being old and wanted to leave has anything to do with Sweeney doing a good or bad job but Ok. 

 

on a side note when did we start calling the Czech Republic “Czechia”? I didn’t get the memo.

They didn't even make Krug an offer, and Krejci was 34 when he left...off a 44pt in 51 game season. He had plenty left in the tank and the word is he would have rather went home than play for Cassidy.

Well color me wrong then. Did not realize he was 34 for some reason I thought he was older and wanted to go home- at least I remember reading something along those lines.

Yeah, that was what was said publicly. Words coming out now that he did not get along with Cassidy.
