Why is a player negotiating a better deal for themselves "selfish"? It's absolutely laughable for a fan to even suggest this. It's a business. Teams operate under that premise all day long. Players are more than free to do the same. McAvoy certainly didn't leave a dime on the table. Nor did Pasta. But it's a problem when Swayman does what's best for himself? Hilarious.
We traded the prior years Vezina winner to promote him and agreed to not go to arbitration. He chose to use this as leverage.
Sway hadn't played particularly well, no question. Now with that being said, I've been critical of the defensive play in front of both goalies because it's been pretty lousy. I don't think any goalie would have much success playing behind a defense that lets the other team play in their end for prolonged periods of time and doesn't score any goals offensively. The roster is trash. But yes, sway can and has to be better. Today he was excellent. Literally why they won. With the stretch they have coming up against good teams, they need more of this.

Yea the Bruins handed his agent the keys to the garage .Anyhow,I am a big Swayman fan and happy they signed him.
Look, I hammered him early in the year, and I still think he doesn't look good, BUT this team has a plethora of problems that having prime Dominik Hasek wouldn't solve.3.03 GAA and .895 SV% for $66M
You are, they need a team in front of the goaltender, but wait they gave all the money to the goaltender, you know the one, the goalie market setter.
kid if you like, but I honestly think his contract hamstrung the team and has prevented them from making additional moves to improve the offense.You are, they need a team in front of the goaltender, but wait they gave all the money to the goaltender, you know the one, the goalie market setter.
I had hoped this last run was him finally getting it back, but obviously he stumbled again. I expect him to get it back for another good stretch, but there's no telling if he'll keep it through to the end of the season or falter again. My guess is that he won't really be back until next season.
It was not really kidding, as much as I was being sarcastic. You probably don't know but back the contract talks were going on I was one that said, that he had not proven that he could handle the load and that was a legitimate concern, I also said and have repeated it many times that you need a balanced team, and that means spreading the cap around so to speak. You are correct to say that going all in 2023, has hurt this team somewhat, the problem is that not player that he picked up was resigned, or that he was able to resign. I stand by my comments, and this is coming from a David Krecji fan, he left the team, for a year, he should not have taken him back, Sweeney should have been looking for a replacement the year he was gone, and paying him a bonus the next year compounded the problem. They were looking for a wing when DeBrusk was here, now he is gone and not replaced, and still have not found the wing they needed before DeBrusk left. I could go on but you must be bored by now.
