    BOSTON BRUINS QUOTES DON SWEENEY CONFERENCE CALL Sunday, March 18, 2018 BOSTON BRUINS GENERAL MANAGER DON SWEENEY Opening comments… Thanks Matt [Chmura], and thanks to everyone for joining tonight for joining tonight probably on short notice. But with my being away, I thought it was important to sort of acknowledge the recent signings of Cam Hughes, Trent Frederic and today with Ryan Donato. I think it’s a continuation of the commitment of adding talent, character, depth, to our organization. We’re excited about the opportunity of each and every one of these players. Cam and Trent had a chance to jump in and play this weekend in Providence and Ryan likely will play as early as tomorrow. We’re excited about the direction of our club and continue to add as I’ve mentioned to adding talent, character too the depth of the organization. On where Donato fits into the lineup… Well I think it came together in pretty short order. Disappointing loss for Harvard and Ryan the other night where they had a lead and weren’t able to close it out. I know that Ryan and the family had been thinking about what may or may not lie ahead but they had been focused right up until the loss on Friday night to staying on the task at hand. Once that was over with I had an opportunity to speak with his family advisor and with the family and with Ryan himself. We just worked through what looked like the opportunity he was looking for and we were happy to provide that.
