Seravalli: Bruins and Swayman haven't made much progress on a new deal. And they already went through full arbitration process to reach a deal last year

[Seanaconda]

Fairly unconcerned considering the Bruins traded Ullmark. Never happen if Swayman extension is an issue.

Vancouver accidently traded both its starters that one year

Yet here we are, and it’s an issue

I’m not sure if you are new to how RFAs work or how teams typically handle them, but given that offer sheets are incredibly rare and quite frankly not worth the draft capital in the majority of cases, there is no rush to sign them.

They can have an agreed price (or not) and hold off on signing the RFA in this case Swayman, until they’ve addressed other needs with their available cap space, keeping in mind the number Needed to sign the RFA, and if you go over that amount you have all offseason to move contracts to open that space back up. If you sign them right away, then you don’t have that same wiggle room

For all the shit Donny gets he’s not at that level yet.

This is what happens when you split time with a great goalie on a competitive team.

Hope the chest bumps were worth it.

 

[Miller Time]

Weird that they'd trade Ullman without a solid extension framework in place...

Not really, only for Canadian sports media, who have to have sensational headlines to pique interest.

Lmao….yeah, ok..Canadian media does this….lmfao

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Should be long-term between $6M and $8M, yeah?

If the ask is 6 the deal would have been done already

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I’m sure the ask is higher, I’m talking about the settle.

 

[Roo]

They’ll figure it out I’m sure

It's a good thing we're not Vancouver

Unless the player plays for his Oilers, Seravelli always tries to stir the pot. We have all seen this act before.
