At what point do we get to start "Sweeney so cheap" on HFMainBoards? You know if the same were happening to the Canes it's all we'd hear
Prolly never. If the offer is 8 x 8, its a pretty fair offer for a guy with a smaller amount of games played.

Sway wants more than fair for his one big contract in his career. Thats fine too.

Yeah as much as Swayman is a fun guy to root for he’s absolutely asking for the moon here if the rumors are to be believed.
He (or his agent) apparently wants to "reset the goalie market". This isn't about being insulted that 7.8 million isn't actually 8 million as some dupes in the media have yacked about, he wants a LOT more than that. Same agent as Nylander, too, so no stranger to massive holdouts.

Good to hear….seems like a good guy.

Btw: Pono (seemed to be hurt a bit) and Koivunen both probably will not make the roster.
Harrison Brunicke, who the Pens selected in the 2nd round via the Guentzel trade is making a name for himself at camp. Sounds like he might crack the Pens roster.

Amber Herd suing Vegas for trademark infringement after they shat the bed vs the sharks.

If there was a time for it to happen.... at least it was preseason.

Giving up 3 goals with less than three minutes left in the game to lose? Who does Vegas think they are? The Leafs?

Puljujarvi seems to have been making a case for himself in the Penguins roster.

You guys may laugh at me, but I have no doubt that the Canes are still going to be watching Poolparty closely this year. If it's in fact the case that he can put all of those injuries behind him (which, albeit, is a massive question mark), I could see them taking yet another relatively low-cost flier on him at the deadline.
