Thanks Bruins. He didn't look very good and had a 2 year deal. And was made redundant by Lankanin
Win win then I guess. He wasn't a part of the plans after Lankenin was signed
hilarious how transparent and weak Boston’s management is.
Guarantee Swayman is laughing at this.

63.9325 million reasons why Swayman should just sign with the Bruins!
I will say, the B's could have gone for a Cal Petersen, Matt Murray, or any of the other likely vets to go on waivers.
It's interesting that they with with a guy who's 25 and has 8 games of NHL experience.
Trying to convey that their intent is to develop Patera?

I mean what's stopping Boston from doing that? A better goalie comes up, put Patera on waivers. Boston still has plenty of contract slots open, no? So it really isn't an immediate issue if Patera isn't claimed.

It really is. Personally I think Patera was probably Vegas’ most natural goaltender last year, and why the Canucks likely gave him that contract. They obviously didn’t feel comfortable with him playing games (after having him around) though. So maybe he is just a system goalie. Which fits Boston’s system perfectly.
Be interesting to see if they claim Martin back, because they know him well. He’d just be a bandaid too though. If they’re smart, they get on the phone with Detroit and try getting Husso or Lyon. Stop playing games with coin flip guys. If they’re concerned, and they better be, about Demko, they need something better than what they currently have. Martin isn’t it and Lankinen isn’t it either.
For the first time in almost 2 years, Husso finally has his quickness back and Lyon has now performed very well for two years in a row now. He’s earned the respect. Either is a much better answer for the Canucks, and they shouldn’t have to give up much at all. What, maybe a 3rd Rounder?
Everyone involved has no clue how long Demko is gonna be out. They have to address it. As good as Silovs was in those games, he’s never shown he can consistently perform. Just go back and read what everyone said about Martin and DeSmith too. Until a goalie can show he can perform as a starter consistently, you have to assume he can’t. It’s gonna really be frustrating if goaltending destroys their season. It’s worth a 3rd Round pick to put themselves in a better spot. Worse case, they end up with a 3rd goalie, who won’t clear waivers. Compared to today? That would be a good problem to have.

Weird time to be a Canucks fan 2024
Actually did the Canucks a favour. Too many goalies right now with the Lankinen signing.

I'm Höglander. I can do whatever I want.
What are you talking about? Canucks did address their goaltending. The intent was to roll Demko/Silovs, then they picked up Lankinen as a stop gap until Demko is ready - who has been skating and taking shots, so his return shouldn't be too long from now. Canucks' goaltending is set. They can't and aren't going to take on sizeable caphits, and they certainly aren't going to pay for it.

WTH is so transparent about this move. If Swayman is not signed soon then the Bruins will start the NHL season with Korpisalo as the #1 Goalie and either Bussi or DiPietro as the #2 Goalie. Whoever is not the #2 Goalie in Boston will then be the #1 Goalie in Providence and so Patera was signed to be the #2 Goalie in the AHL. So how exactly does this move make the Bruins management " transparent and weak " ????

I would think only in the case of injuries, but by then other options will likely be available or he won't be at all.
I'm surprised Di Guiseppe didn't get claimed by someone. With his size teams can't seem to resist him. And he's demonstrated he has his moment. Hope can make some teams blind.

They are. This was a ‘preparing for life without swayman’ move, not a ‘replace Swayman’ move.
Bruins only have 3 goalies, Korpisalo, Bussi and DiPietro, this gives them 2 at each level (NHL and AHL).

Hope it works out for patera. He is a good goalie and this is around the time he should be arriving to the NHL. My guess is that he'll end up as a backup in NHL this season but not on Boston.

I mean "high" on him is maybe a little intense. We liked him, he looked really good last preseason and has been good in the AHL. He hasn't looked quite as good this preseason so some are down on him. But all he ever appeared to us anyways was possibly a capable backup, i don't think anyone was high on his potential really beyond that. I mean he's 26, older than Swayman.
