Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman II - still waiting

[Kegs]

Or we could enjoy the summer, reserve our effort, and not complain at all. Why people think complaining about something/anything is a necessary part of everyday life astounds me.

I can’t enjoy seasons that don’t have hockey in them.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Is Zadarov good enough for the 1st pair ? I'm asking because I have heard many say that he is a 3rd pair D and belongs on the 3rd pair .

Zadorov was mocked all last year here when brought up as a possible acquisition to help out. Now he is making 5 million. People's opinions flop like the wind when players become Bruins but I think he can pair with McAvoy and take the 1st pair PK duties.

So you have to complain about something of which you know exactly zero of the inner details?

Nope, still don't get it.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Maybe the deals already made. Bruins are good at keeping the lid on things.


I read on nhl.com

it’s the summer time. Not enough hockey to talk about. We have to complain about something.

Explain the benefit of having a deal made but not filed with the league? Who does that benefit and why?

What happens if Swayman is home in Alaska and gets attacked by a kodiak bear and loses a leg? Do the B's still keep their end of the bargain and sign him at an 8 x 8 because they had agreed to it?

I remember Marchand's deal was done weeks before it was announced for a reason I'm not sure if they ever disclosed but people speculated it was World Cup related.

I trust Donny to be able to replace Sway if he won't bend the knee. Donny found him as a steal, role with Korpi - Bussi and when Sway comes crawling back lower the amount when the Bruins start 15-5. 6m max

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

The agent works for the player not the other way around.

If Swayman tells him to get a deal done now, it will get done now.

Just because Nylander didn't doesn't mean Swayman won't.

Unless you have a Scott Boras type of agent who just does what he feels is best. Not sure if there are even any such agents like that in the hockey world though. I'm sure there probably are examples of players feeling like their agent wasn't working in their best interest.

But yeah, in this case I really have no worry about a deal getting done. Swayman is invested in the team/city. It may take more time than we like, but it will get done.

Agents are fiduciaries with their client. Even Boras

You’re not getting Swayman for $6M. It’s not going to happen.

If Donny really commits they will, What's Swayman going to do, sit at home all day?

 

[Gee Wally]

He absolutely could.

 

[Pia8988]

He absolutely could.

Bruins need a full team of buying in. If Swayman won't, probably better at home

 

[Dr Quincy]

I remember Marchand's deal was done weeks before it was announced for a reason I'm not sure if they ever disclosed but people speculated it was World Cup related.

I'll ask again: What is the benefit to the Bruins and to Swayman in having an agreement all done, but not filing it?

If it's not filed can either party change their mind and backout? If the answer to that is "Yes", then I'd like to revisit the 1st question again: What's the benefit to having an agreement and not filing it?

 

[Fenian24]

Let's ask a couple simple question. Are the Bruins a better team today, tomorrow and in the future with or with out Jeremy Swayman? Does it seem like the salary cap is going to continue to rise now that the players have "paid back" the owners for the Covid seasons? Is a top 5 goalie worth 10% of the cap?

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

That’s stupid though. Does Pasta not taking $9M mean he’s “not bought in”? Is Lindholm not “bought in” because he didn’t take $6M?

Good point.

This thread raises an interesting question: exactly how many HF burner accounts does Harry Sinden have?

it's unreal. What happened to wanting the best players signed and letting the suits figure out the rest. Why do some fans seem to really begrudge players that want to be paid and paid well? I'd like to watch Swayman here for the next 8 years and don't care what they need to do to make it happen. I could live without the Andrew Peekes and Korpisalo's of the world nibbing away at the total money available

 

[Pia8988]

Absolutely. What have they won? Nothing at all. Just looking to be paid and not their Bruin's legacy

Seems like high school sports would be more your speed, with college having NIL now and all.

Gotta be committed to building the best possible team possible. Swayman needs to take a discount for elite depth. Help them afford Korpi, Peeke, Coyle. Deep teams win, Top heavy fail.

SINCE WHEN is Korpisalo elite..... you haven't shown why Korpisalo is elite

Bad teams, Goalie Bob and the Bruins goalie factory system will show you.

Yeah the Oilers, Knights, Panthers, and Lightning all got their stars to take well under market value. Oh wait…

and Boston is a bad team the last century +
