The Boston Bruins endured their worst season since 2006-07, falling well short of expectations in 2024-25 as they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Despite their disappointing campaign, the team opted to extend the contract of general manager Don Sweeney, who was set to enter the final year of his deal in 2025-26. Rather than change things up in the front office, the Bruins made the decision to stick with Sweeney and rewarded him with a new two-year deal.
