6 million from Bruins is asinine.
McAvoy contract from Swayman is equally asinine.
Be smarter everyone.

You prefer the Toronto method of paying UFA money to guys on RFA contracts?Fire Donny
Bruins love playing hard on RFAs while pissing away worse money on UFAs.
Backwards thinking.

You think it’s backwards to use the the leverage afforded by the CBA to keep RFA/second contracts at a lower cost than than UFA contracts?
Nobody begrudges DeBrusk for getting as much as he can get when he has all the leverage as a UFA. Why are the Bruins villains for trying to keep this contract at market value?
All the worrying about Swayman being a bust is peak irony from this fanbase
Just handed out bigger risk contracts to Zadorov and Lindholm for lesser important players
Don Sweeney's history of pissing away money.
Yes an actual stud and people lose their shit

How many cup did Vaz win before Tampa inked him to a huge deal?I didn't expect Swayman to act like he's the next coming of Hasek flexing his business degree and asking for the moon. I'm not a Sweeney fan but a player who has proven nothing except if you hang banners for a 1st round win should not get top 3 goalie money.

This whole thread feels like either Sway, The Empty Netters dudes, or both are proverbially stepping in it

Haven’t even started drinking yetThe Swaychise - Brilliant!!!
Did you even read the thread?What. This organization and front office LOVE using the media to their advantage, but suddenly it's on the other foot and it's deplorable behavior!
Cry some more.

The Bruins don't invest in their best players? Pasta is the 7th highest paid forward in the NHL. McAvoy is the 6th highest paid defenseman in the NHL.Yes, I prefer the method of paying your best players. This isn't Toronto investing in 4 F. This is investing into your best players, 1 F, 1 D, 1 G
It's also about Risk. Tavares was the mistake in Toronto, guess what, a UFA. Nylander, Marner, and Matthews all outplayed their contracts.
The mistakes on Boston, all UFAs. Again shocking.
Lindholm has significantly more risk on being a bust at his contract, yet everyone is celebrating that. Jeremy carried this dogshit roster and when he comes up people lose their god damn minds.
lolWhat. This organization and front office LOVE using the media to their advantage, but suddenly it's on the other foot and it's deplorable behavior!

The Bruins current offer to Swayman would make him the 7th highest paid goalie in the NHL.
It sounds to me like you want to overpay your best players because you're panicking. Overpaying any group usually ends up being a mistake.
Because you left out the word “below”? This isn’t a case of them wanting a fair market deal. This is a case of them wanting the player to sign a favorable deal that only benefits the team and lets the player assume all the risk for below market value. Other than that though, you were spot on….You prefer the Toronto method of paying UFA money to guys on RFA contracts?

They certainly overpaid (in regression year term and AAV) the 2 UFAs they brought in this summer and took on too much cap and term with the backup goalie. Those overpays are making it difficult to sign their franchise goalie right now.The Bruins don't invest in their best players? Pasta is the 7th highest paid forward in the NHL.

I don't think there's anyone to blame.So, how does this freaking out thing work.
I feel left out.
Do I scream at the walls or break things?
Who do I blame?
