At the NHL Awards in Las Vegas, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said winning the NHL general manager of the year award “is a testament to the hard work of the organization,” and not reflective of one person’s efforts.
“When you get the support of the people you work with and the players are so committed, you’re just trying to find potentially missing pieces,” Sweeney said.
Sweeney’s win comes after a year in which he made depth signings in forwards Chris Wagner and Joakim Nordstrom, as well as defenseman John Moore, in free agency last summer.
