Don Sweeney's future with the Boston Bruins hangs in the balance as team president Cam Neely considers a contract extension. Neely recognizes Sweeney's efforts but acknowledges last season's disappointment falls on everyone. Meanwhile, Sweeney is actively pursuing coaching candidates, indicating the next head coach could lack NHL head coaching experience but must have some NHL exposure. Interim coach Joe Sacco remains a candidate for the permanent role.

The Bruins plan to keep restricted free agent Morgan Geekie for next season and aim to enhance their offense, particularly in the winger position. CEO Charlie Jacobs expresses confidence that the team will return stronger and compete for the playoffs next year, depending on offseason additions and the health of their roster.
