How have Cam Neely/Don Sweeney done in year one?

We are almost one year since Cam Neely and the Boston Bruins named Don Sweeney their new general manager replacing Peter Chiarelli. How do the first year of moves look.

The major pieces the Bruins moved on from were Milan Lucic, Doug Hamilton, Reilly Smith and Carl Soderberg. Minor pieces were Gregory Campbell and Daniel Paille.

Replacing them were Matt Beleskey, Jimmy Hayes, Matt Irwin, Colin Miller and Zac Rinaldo. Along with late additions John Michael-Liles and Lee Stempniak.

For the five games remaining in the season, plus, hopefully the playoffs, which set of players would you rather have right now.

My answer, without question, is the players the Bruins moved on from.

Here are the 2015-16 statistics for all the changes to the roster Neely and Sweeney have made over the last year.
