I agree with Felger 100% here. Consider all options to make your team better. This front office loves to pick their favorites.
Sure you consider all options. If Edmonton wants to offer me McDavid or Drai for Sway, then Sway is leaving town.
But don't pretend they are in any way interchangeable pieces. Swayman's value is dramatically higher to this team than Ullmark's is.
So yes you could get more by dealing Swayman, of course you could, and maybe that makes the Bruins better in 24/25, but you don't make short term decisions. Swayman is a guy who should be a core piece of this team into the early 2030s.

Yes, I am not insane I know that. But when we say anyone is available. Especially when dealing with a core roster player. They are all available, IF someone is willing to make you a ridiculous overpay.
So if someone wants to come with an offer for Swayman that is a ridiculous overpay then you consider it.

Which is why Felger is the radio equivalent of click-bait morons like Haggs and Jimmy "Thin Skins".

Sure. But the NHL has less player movement than any other league and it’s not particularly close. So you can say you have to listen but no one is talking. No GM is calling Jim Nill and asking what it would take to get Roope Hintz.

I usually like your posts but that had some mean blood streamed into it.Huh? Where did I say anything of the sort?

I actually thought it was pretty mild compared to my usual thoughts about full-of-shit, do-anything-for-ratings-media-hacks like Felger.

Right back at you, Dom.
The title of the article alone screams clickbait.

Yeah, and Swayman's value is dramatically higher to other teams as well. You listen to offers for both and take the best one.
Ullmark is top 10 goalie in this league, maybe he even outperforms Swayman the next few years. It's not like we'd be left with nothing.

I agree with that somewhat.
But I disagree about trading Swayman. 2/3'rds of the teams in the NHL would love a goalie like Swayman. It would take a lot for the bruins to move him and then what? Goalies like him don't grow on trees, ask the Leafs.
Felger?, every time he speaks. D-bag say "WHAT". Clickbait is the perfect analogy. I don't think he believes half of what comes out of his mouth.
No ones untouchable for the right price, but any team that's close to competing would have to give up something that make them close in the 1st place. Same as Pasta or MacAvoy.
Give me Makar, McDavid, McKinnon, Kucherov....they're not going anywhere so we would not get anything worth giving up a core 8-10 year top 5 goaltender like Swayman. this isn't Mike Moffat, Swayman overall 60+ NHL games plus his college pedigree say he's the real deal. Not to mention his disposition. He doesn't seem to be the typical quirky goalie.

For a 7th round pick in 2030 and this board would still complain about overpayment!
