Prospect Info: 111th Overall (4th Round) Jeremy Swayman (G)

[Over the volcano]

I have zero problem with management offering "too much" info.

Fredric turned out to be a pretty damn good pick despite the inital flak they took and the comment about being projected as a bottom six. Nothing wrong with taking the best guy on your board at the time and mentioning that there were people you had rated higher who were taken higher.

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

This is when goalies should be taken. I'm very much in the "draft a goalie every draft" camp. If they're going to college it's basically your own farm team, doubt we see Swayman in Boston for a minimum of 4 years (if we're lucky), but it's a great stash play.

Love that he's going to Orono too.

Yes, more info is usually good.

Conroy usually has a lot of typos and number problems ((5-10-11 in 10 postseason games) --for example) but he has the quote about the goalie slightly different and I bolded it.

“We’re really excited about (Swayman), Bob Essensa (the B’s goalie coach) really liked and scouted him. Most of our staff was on board. We had targeted another goalie, but he went before our sixth pick,†said assistant general manager Scott Bradley.

So it would be one of: Kvaca, Senn, Eriksson Ek, Vomacka, Patera, or Holm.

jeremy signed with boston today (as noted on the prospect thread). come a long way since
his draft year in 2017.

Congratulations Jeremy

 

[Overreactor]

Great pic at the signing. Develop and battle. We heard how promising Keyser is. Now we hear that his injuries are a concern. Glad they drafted Swayman, too. Glad he signed.

 

[PB37]

Should have taken Luukkonnen

Still feel that way?

 

[MAINE-IAC]

Still feel that way?

Jack studnika was the pick before Luukkonen

So true! Had an avatar in mind, too. Oh well.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Luukonnen was picked by BUF right after our pick in the 2nd round.
Studnika could of easily been had in the 3rd round.

Stupid pick by Sweeney and company.

Seems like these guys just drag this out slowwwlllyyyy in order to keep a paycheck.

Where's the win now attitude?

This is a great revisit.

 

[Overreactor]

All right, this avatar does not quite seem becoming, but it gives an idea. Hope it can be seen. Was looking forward to lots of over-reacting. Good luck, all. Stay safe. Go Bruins!

 

[BlackFrancis]

So, where does he play next season?

Have to figure Vladar is going to be tabbed as the starter and take on a starter's workload. The Bruins also seem to enjoy starting their goaltenders off in the ECHL, but with Keyser's lost season, you'd think he'll be repeating down there and I don't see them sending someone to the ECHL to be a backup.

I imagine camp, if one actually ever happens, will sort everything out. But it'll be strange having a highish pedigree goalie starting 20 games as a backup.

 

[ON3M4N]

Just read through this thread again (since it was 2 pages) and half of it seems like people complaining about the wording management used about Swayman lol.

 

[BMC]

I saw him on NESN a few times this year. He looked good to me FWIW- seemed technically sound and calm out there. Still quite young though and there's plenty of time for him to develop.

 

[ON3M4N]

If the season re-starts I wonder if Swayman gets some games in or if they have him hanging around the B's group. With Vladar, Keyser and Legace in Providence, I imagine he wouldn't see games in Providence.

Yeah especially for this place

Keyser is in the ECHL to my knowledge. (Big) IF the season does restart, I wouldn't be opposed to giving Vladar some games in the NHL (rest Rask) and going with Swayman/Lagace in Providence for that time.

Swayman was the only unanimous selection to the All-Hockey East First Team.

 

[ON3M4N]

Keyser is in the ECHL to my knowledge. (Big) IF the season does restart, I wouldn't be opposed to giving Vladar some games in the NHL (rest Rask) and going with Swayman/Lagace in Providence for that time.

Is he? I thought he was back up with Providence because he had 1GP for Atlanta this year. Not sure I'd give Rask rest TBH. Again (BIG) IF the season starts up again, it probably isn't until July. At that point Rask is looking at 3-4 months off and I'd think to knock the rust off and get ready for the playoffs, you'd want to run him out a bit more and get back into his flow.
