Looking back at the media negotiating stuff between Sweeney and Jake and it appear as if Sweeney was the one 100% full of shit, which is hardly shocking.
Sweeney
“Again, negotiation is a two-way street,” a seemingly perturbed Sweeney pointed out. “We’ve taken an aggressive position with Jake. No different than other players that have chosen not to resign and explore; that’s within his right, certainly at this time of the year.”
Sweeney made it seem like it was some ridiculous ask...no wonder Jake said he figured it would be done by now in Feb or March or whenever he said it. Everyone here speculated 6.5 or so over 8.

I kept saying he wasn't going to make more than Marchand, and Boston wasn't going to give him 7 yrs. Let the Nucks deal with his fragile self, they over paid for him. Lol

Why would what Marchand makes be relevant? That deal was signed 7 years ago, ffs.

Because the cosmic relevance of the figure 8 has nothing to do with this thread.

But, do apples cause the shits? That's the BIG question right now...
The answer to your question is yes, apples do cause the shits

It appears to me Sweeney just didn’t want him back.
I’d be very interested to hear what Sweeney was offering/how much lower on AAV he was

Funny, Jake’s interview showed me that Jake just didn’t want to be back. Which is fine.

That’s fair. Before he was gone and in the middle of contract discussions he was saying he thought he would be extended already.
Just wondering what Sweeney’s offer was
Jake DeBrusk Details Requesting Trade From Bruins: ‘I Was Fighting For My Career’

In the the regular season? Maybe not. Gonna need someone who can perform like him in the playoffs though. 9 goals and 17 points in his last 20 games. That’s solid first line production right there. Anyone who can be realistically expected to match that production will cost a boatload of assets at the trade deadline.

And in his last 27 playoff games a -13.
Pretty much anyone could do better than that.

It also feels as though the timing of when he requested the trade
is off.
I don't know, it just doesn't ring honest to me for some reason.
?
I just posted it off hand. Didn't raise any eyebrows for me.
Truly, these are the dog Days of the off season.

Oh I forgot winger Jake Debrusk was responsible for all our defensive and goaltending breakdowns.
Jake is not as good as some believe (yes, his last PO was good but others not so much) and he is not as bad as some believe.
He is just so damn inconsistent. Clearly, he wanted OUT of Boston.

Just bad luck I guess that the player producing so much offense would be on the ice for even more production by the opponents.
Personally, I don't want any player who doesn't want to be here. Good luck to him, I enjoyed him being part of the team but it is clear he wanted to move on. I don't know why that is so hard to understand. A fresh start in the west is best for all.

Dom, the contract was signed a lifetime ago. The length doesn’t matter at all because the value is so skewed by today’s value.
More tired of the consistent first round playoff exits and not being an actual cup contender. But hey, you do you and enjoy that balance of 4th line stiffs slotting up. It’s really paid off for them.
