Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney has been the man in charge for a decade now and in his tenure he has had a lot of up and downs.

Sweeney has been receiving a lot of hate and criticism as of late especially for the blockbuster trade he just completed that sent former Vezina winning goalie Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators. Fans have been on his case for not getting more in return.

The Criticism hasn't just come from fans though as Cam Neely stated he the execution needs to be better.

"Cam [Neely] and the Jacobs family are very supportive of what the goals are," Sweeney said. "Sometimes, as Mr. Jacobs would say, the execution needs to be better. And that's matter of fact. I actually appreciate that line."

"The ultimate goal is to try and win and I spent 10 years in those other roles trying to complement what was in place and the people around me, learn and grow, trying to win then, and I don't think it's any different at this stage," Sweeney

Is this a case of you can't teach an old dog new tricks? What is there for him to learn and grow from at this point? He has been in this position for 10 years and if he hasn't figured it out by now, what is there left to do other than find a new GM?
