It's almost like that franchise has gotten spoiled by players taking discounts to stay on the team over the last decade.
Sweeney probably only offered $8 million aav for 8 years for Swayman. I hope Swayman sits as long as possible. Boston's D can only protect Korpse for so long and the Bruins decline might actually happen for once
According to the Boston thread, he played great in the playoffs but only has played 132 games in total. Also, after all-star game last season he struggled, Ullmark got them through that stretch. There's also the possibility that he struggles without Ullmark as backup, much the same way Murray was never the same after MAF went to Vegas. I think it's a fair deal because there is some risk for the Bruins side going 8 years, and it's fair to Swayman as he'll only be 33 at the end of the contract and will get another big payday if he turns out to be and remains a top 5 goalie. There are no guarantees he'll stay healthy or not decline. $64 million is nothing to sneeze at.8 mil is fair, Swayman hasn't proven he can take on a 60+ game workload like Hellebuyck yet.
And Shesterkin. The current offer to Swayman is in line with what they were paid as RFAs and they both had played more games and were already starters when they got those contracts.8 mil is fair, Swayman hasn't proven he can take on a 60+ game workload like Hellebuyck yet.

I think the age plays a factor here. The 8th year of Swayman is way more palatable than Ullmark.And you wonder how this effects the Ullmark negotiations, neither goalie has been a true starter and if Swayman gets $8x8 without a Vezina then Ullmark with a Vezina and better NHL attack record deserves $8.5x 8yrs

I see Swayman holding outOh what a wonderful world it would be if we could play even a small part in watching Boston slide down the Atlantic rankings
The Bruins need to get Pierre Dorion in these negotiations stat. Get that 8x8 offer moving.
Marty Brodeur’s son is in nets tonight for the Devils.
