Bruins GM makes blunt statement on future of 33-goal scorer
Despite finishing toward the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings for the first time since the 2006-07 season, the Boston Bruins had a few bright spots on the year. One of them, Morgan Geekie, is entering the 2025-26 season on a $2M salary and had been an oft-mentioned trade candidate for the Bruins throughout the year.
That’s unlikely to happen. Ty Anderson of 98.5 The Sports Hub passed along a blunt statement from general manager Don Sweeney indicating Geekie would be on the roster next year.
To be fair, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Boston recoup a haul for Geekie should they trade him. Of course, 30-goal scorers don’t grow on trees in the NHL, and certainly not on $2M salaries. However, as a counterpoint, the Bruins did finish as one of the worst offensive teams in the 2024-25 campaign, and trading Geekie away does nothing to improve that.
He’ll look to equal, if not improve upon, this year’s results as a pending restricted free agent, and the Bruins can decide then if they’d like to re-sign Geekie to a longer-term deal.
Other notes from the Bruins organization:
- Much like Geekie, don’t expect Sweeney to depart the organization anytime soon, either. Speaking with reporters, team president Cam Neely gave a glowing endorsement of Sweeney, saying, “Don has been a great GM in this league. Has everything gone right? No, it hasn’t. That’s just sports, but there’s been more good than bad. Don and his group, in my opinion, have earned the right to get us back to where we all want to be.” Sweeney has been at the helm of the Bruins’ front office for the last decade.
- Fortunately, Boston will enter the summer months with a clean bill of health. Sweeney shared that forward Pavel Zacha had a minor, unspecified surgery, and John Beecher may also need one. Other than that, the Bruins don’t expect any major surgeries throughout the offseason.
