Bruins assistant GM leaving crew to ‘pursue different alternatives’
Boston Bruins
Langenbrunner, 50, had been concerned within the Bruins group for the previous 11 years.
The Bruins’ entrance workplace goes by some upheaval this offseason.
Boston stated in a crew launch on Thursday afternoon that assistant normal supervisor Jamie Langenbrunner has determined to depart the group to search for different roles elsewhere throughout the NHL.
“The Boston Bruins have agreed to permit Jamie Langenbrunner to pursue different alternatives within the Nationwide Hockey League,” the assertion learn. “The group needs Jamie and his household all the most effective transferring ahead.”
Langenbrunner, 50, had been concerned within the Bruins group for the previous 11 years. A two-time Stanley Cup champion who scored 663 factors throughout 1,109 profession video games within the NHL, Langenbrunner initially joined Boston forward of the 2015-16 marketing campaign as a improvement coach.
He was later promoted to director of participant improvement in 2019-20, ultimately making one other leap as one in all Boston’s assistant GMs in 2022-23 alongside fellow AGM Evan Gold, reporting immediately below Don Sweeney.
As famous by Elite Prospects’ Cam Robinson, Langenbrunner was largely tasked with “overseeing participant personnel and participant identification/acquisition on the professional aspect” in his AGM function.
Each Langenbrunner and Gold have discovered themselves linked to some intriguing front-office roles throughout the NHL over the previous few weeks.
Gold was reportedly a finalist for the Vancouver Canucks’ vacant GM place, with longtime Canucks reporter Rick Dhaliwal noting on his radio present that Gold would have needed to convey a number of Bruins staffers — together with Langenbrunner and Boston’s director of hockey analytics, Jeremy Rogalski — with him to Vancouver had he obtained the job.
Nonetheless, the Canucks finally determined to rent from inside, selling Ryan Johnson as their subsequent GM.
The New Jersey Devils had been a logical match for Langenbrunner, provided that he performed there for 9 seasons and served as crew captain for 4 of these years. However, New Jersey employed former Panthers exec Sunny Mehta as their GM final month.
The Nashville Predators stay the one NHL crew with a emptiness at GM at this stage of the offseason.
By way of potential candidates for a promotion in Boston’s front-office hierarchy, Langenbrunner’s place could possibly be crammed by Adam McQuaid — who stepped into Langenbrunner’s former spot as director of participant improvement — or Bruins legend Zdeno Chara.
Chara rejoined the Bruins group final fall, with the Hockey Corridor of Famer’s official title being “hockey operations advisor and mentor.”
