Boston Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs just confirmed Don Sweeney and Cam Neely's fate with the Boston Bruins organization going forward.

The Bruins thought after the moves and signings they made in the offseason that they were going to be a more competitive team, but that has not been the case at all.

The Bruins made some big signings in the offseason, bringing in Nikita Zadorov and Elias Lindholm, but they also made some interesting choices. One big one was letting Jake DeBrusk walk in free agency, who ultimately signed with the Vancouver Canucks.

It's become evident how big of a mistake this has been by Don Sweeney to let DeBrusk walk, as now they are going to be looking for a player like him at the trade deadline. DeBrusk leads the Vancouver Canucks in goals with 17 on the year and has a total of 29 points in 43 games.

He would be second on the Bruins in scoring right behind David Pastrnak, who leads the Boston Bruins with 20 goals.

Sweeney made a last-ditch effort to save his job mid-November when he fired head coach Jim Montgomery. Instead of taking blame for building a terrible Bruins team in the offseason, Sweeney pointed the finger at Jim Montgomery.

Many fans have expressed throughout the year that it is time for the Bruins to get rid of Don Sweeney and Cam Neely.

Now, Boston Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs has spoken on both Sweeney's and Neely's fate with the organization going forward.

Jacobs stated that he has faith in both Sweeney and Neely, and that they will both make the right decisions for the Bruins organization.
