I think I, have given the wrong impression, I am someone who has always believed in the players get what they can, they are the ones with their families that have put the time in to be successful, I am just now aware of the cap, and it restricts your ability at times to put the team you want to put together, or hope to anyways.

Vasilevsky was an RFA when he signed his big deal. I think if they want a long term deal the precident is there (in terms of RFA/UFA, not output. I also think if they meet in the middle somewhere a 7/8 for 8mil a year makes sense based on all the rumors

I’m hoping that’s where it lands. I expect that outcome but I don’t think much would shock me. Least likely scenario to me is a signed offer sheet with terms that make Sweeney uncomfortable.

Can’t wait till Marshy sees this knowing it came from the L.L. Bean kid’s camp

They could've spent 775k on Bussi as a backup G instead of $3m for Korpi. Would you rather overpay your starting goalie $2m or your backup goalie $2m?
Bruins could keep the two goalie tandem with Sway and Korper and make the play offs. Then go with Sway and beat the leafs.
There is a reason Ulmark looked average in Buffalo and all world in Boston.
Goalies always play better on that Bs "team"
As Korper will soon see.

He doesn’t win a cup by himself, you are right.
But he was far and away our best player in the playoffs and we wouldn’t have won a series with Ullmark in net or 90% of other goalies in the league

It's legit insane how much the Bruins over performed their expected goal differential the last two seasons mostly on the back of their goaltending.

Ullmark looked better than average in Buffalo.
True.
2 minutes for embellishment on my part to make my point. ha!
But still, playing on the Bs gave him a Vezina. Sabres and Sens ....not a chance.

Cup driven
That’s going to change drastically this year if their goalie tandem is Korpisalo and Bussi

Weird considering how against you were for signing Ullmark in the first place.

I keep hearing "this is the year" Bruins go south.
Every September.
They they go straight to first place in October and battle up there all season.
Probably right.

Cup driven
And then they usually get bounced in the first round because they refuse to fix any of the glaring holes they have in the top 6 forward group. I mean 1 cup win in 52 years isn’t really successful now, is it? But hey, how about that regular season play? Right? LOFL

Yeah, didn't understand investing in a goalie at that time, especially one who had never played a meaningful game in the NHL.
But that has what to do with what exactly?

Eichel said he was their MVP but I’m not sure he knows as much about hockey as Bruins fans
Also, doesn’t L.L. Swayman take online courses at Stanford on Wednesday nights ?
Gotta think he is looking for more today
Donny needs to just Give him what he wants and cut Peeke and Korpi and ask Coyle to take a pay cut
Sweeney dropped the ball here

Can't see the Bruins caving to Sway, just like debrusk with the big demands from a player who has accomplished very little
Cup in 2011. Finals in 2013. Finals in 2019.
Bounced in other seasons by Bolts, Panthers, Canes,
Not too shabby.
Certainly better than all the Canadian teams and most of the American teams.
Having a great goalie ain't cheating
Right on I totally agree, Swayman has some good stats for a short period of time and now he thinks he is their saviour. Stick to your plans DS and be prepared for whatever happens.

Using Rask as a comparable, which honestly Swayman's situation is very close to his in terms of games played and being part of a tandem. Rask also had a 1 year deal, was an RFA, then signed the big one.
Rask 7mil salary was 10.8% of the cap when the max was 64.3. If Swayman were to have that same %cap hit at the current 88 mil cap he'd be at 9.5 mil. Interesting to think about. Wonder if everyone will start hating Swayman if that happens

I rarely toot my own horn here (since I'm wrong more often than not) but I watched a lot of hockey the year before Ullmark signed here.
Said it right after he signed, but I got the sense watching Buffalo games that he was the sole reason they weren't last place, Ullmark stood on his head every game I saw but had no help. Knew he'd be a great starter for us, didn't think he'd become the vezina caliber guy he did become though
