Not playing No. 1 draft picks questions their value from the get-go

In the world of non-profit businesses, especially public schools and government, status quo and moderate productivity is tolerated because the taxpayer has little input into change and accountability, while the workers have a lifetime employment benefit. In the world of for-profit organizations, it’s the polar opposite. Job security is often based on productivity and measurable outcomes.

The Boston Bruins obviously fall into the latter category. So, here they are with the direct edict from the very top – owner Jeremy Jacobs – to make the playoffs every year.

The Black and Gold are now in a major pickle going two straight years without now Don Sweeney and Cam Neely generating any postseason black for the boss – and a bleak future to reverse such.
