Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[Hale The Villain]

Well if they started at 6.5 they may feel like it's Swayman's responsibility to meet them half way, but I tend to agree, Boston has to get this figured out because the alternative is frightening.

edit: as an aside, the projected cap space of $7,861,667 they have according to puck pedia might shed some light on what they chose that offer...

That 7.86M cap hit is with a full roster (14F/7D/2G). If they sign Swayman they'll either trade or waive Brandon Bussi, which would give them over 8.5M in space.

I think that actually sheds more light on Swayman's demand of 8.5M. Sees that cap space sitting there and wants every bit of it.

Uh?

BPM is pretty much the only all sports talk radio station in Montreal(and the province) now with generally high ratings. He could have done a lot worse. Not that I care what he does with his career moving forward but this isn't just a "c level website".

Does this make him bigger than Shawn Simpson when Shawn was on TSN 1200?

Damn, that sucks about Jarventie... Hopefully not a major injury

It doesn't seem it is. Here's what I found :

"Jarventie has a knee injury that is expected to keep him out of training camp, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Thursday. Gregor adds that Jarventie should be ready to go within two weeks"
