I still have yet to understand this. How does the presence of Ullmark - a UFA - change Swayman's mind about what he wants long term? Do you really think Swayman takes less because Ullmark is there? Unless your perceived leverage is that we would dangle that we would trade Swayman - how would that make the negotiations go more smoothly?Sweeney screwed himself by trading Ullmark before an extension was signed. Swaymans camp has them bent over a barrel.
And that's leaving aside that trading Ullmark would be even more difficult after 7/1, and we'd have to give up one of the two FAs we signed in order to leave space, along with pushing any draft compensation out a year.
