The Bruins’ front office is going through some upheaval this offseason.
The team said in a release Thursday afternoon that assistant general manager Jamie Langenbrunner has decided to leave the organization to look for NHL roles elsewhere.
“The Boston Bruins have agreed to allow Jamie Langenbrunner to pursue other opportunities in the National Hockey League,” the statement read. “The organization wishes Jamie and his family all the best moving forward.”
Langenbrunner, 50, is a two-time Stanley Cup champion who tallied 663 points across 1,109 regular-season games in the NHL. He joined the Bruins ahead of the 2015-16 season as a development coach.
He was promoted to director of player development in 2019-20, then to assistant GM in 2022-23 alongside Evan Gold, reporting to GM Don Sweeney.
As noted by Elite Prospects’ Cam Robinson, Langenbrunner was largely tasked with “overseeing player personnel and player identification/acquisition on the pro side.” Langenbrunner and Gold have been linked to intriguing front-office roles across the NHL over the last few weeks.
Get Starting Point
A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.
Gold was reportedly a finalist for the Canucks’ GM position, with longtime Canucks reporter Rick Dhaliwal noting on his radio show that Gold would have wanted to bring several Bruins staffers — including Langenbrunner and director of hockey analytics Jeremy Rogalski — with him had he gotten the job.
However, the Canucks decided to hire from within, promoting Ryan Johnson.
The Devils were a logical fit for Langenbrunner, given that he played there for nine seasons and served as team captain for four, but New Jersey hired former Panthers executive Sunny Mehta as their GM last month.
The Predators remain the only NHL team with a GM vacancy.
In terms of potential candidates for a promotion in Boston, Langenbrunner’s position could be filled by Adam McQuaid, who stepped into Langenbrunner’s former spot as director of player development, or Bruins legend Zdeno Chara.
Chara rejoined the organization last fall, with the Hockey Hall of Famer’s title being “hockey operations adviser and mentor.”
