Bruins Daily: DeBrusk Contract; Bruins Brass, Coach Safe

As expected, Boston Bruins team president Cam Neely’s and general manager Don Sweeney’s jobs are safe despite their team failing to reach the Eastern Conference Final for the first time since 2019. What may have been surprising to some when that was announced by Bruins Alternate Governor/CEO Charlie Jacobs on Wednesday was that Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery had escaped the guillotine.

“The three gentlemen to my left have my complete confidence,” Charlie Jacobs said to begin his team’s end-of-season press conference on Wednesday. “We have no expectation of personnel changes coming during this upcoming offseason.”
