The cap is going up. Alot. His 8-8.5 mil will seem middle of the road by year 4. Also, I can't take the it "affects the team" seriously when they they just acquired a goalie who nobody wanted at 3 mil per the next four seasons...I'm not shortchanging my studs because of bad cap managementSpeak(ing?) for yourself!
The fans that are not idiots know that how much Swayman makes effects the Cap. Which effects the team.
If you were Swayman or Sweeney?
go and read the deadline threads here about people wanting Zadorov and what most were saying about him....Now he's a Bruin thoughThey just spent 30 mill on a bottom pairing dman.

It's actually a rose.My grandmother drank that. I have no idea what it is
Fans should hate Korpisalo and Zadorov then, and the person who signed/traded for them.Speak(ing?) for yourself!

That is not true, fans do not care about Jacobs money, what they care about is not having a bad contract, and they would like to see some cap space so as the room to make some moves when needed. Hey who knows if one of the kids steps up maybe they will not be in the hunt for a goal scorer or RW.I don't need to take a poll, this thread is pretty clear. Fans complain about ownership being cheap, but when it comes time to sign guys.....well fans expect everyone starts to think like an owner and they want guys to take a hometown discount.
Just don't want to end up in a situation like Dipietro handing big money to a goalie too early and have them flame out. An elite forward I'm fine signing long term in RFA status. More trustable

Kind of similar, but also not the same.I know a lot of the posters here are also avid NFL fans .... I feel NHL management in general looks at goalies the same way as NFL management looks at running backs ....the tide turned a while ago on running backs...most NFL managers don't want to pay them big money for long term due to the risk of underachieving compared to salary expectations..... IMO the same story is happening in the NHL for goalies ...I bet some risk expert actuary crunched the #'s for the goalie position and said ...don't go high $ long term for goalies because the probability of it paying off is low/unfavourable....same as for running backs in the NFL...give Sway some coin but be careful here
Sorokin got 8. Vasilevskiy 8. Saros just got 8 years. Bobrovsky got 7 (max for changing teams). Hellebuyck got 6. Binnington 6. Markstrom 6. Grubauer 6. Price and Gibson had gotten 8. Even Jarry and Merzlikins got 5.Kind of similar, but also not the same.
Running backs perform great (and consistently) as soon as they're drafted, it's just that after 3-4 years of college and after their first NFL contract (another 4-5 years) they've already been used and abused so much that they don't usually have much left in the tank to be worth a 2nd NFL contract most of the time.
I agree on goalies. They seem to have a much different market than skaters. Teams definitely aren't as likely to commit to 7-8 year deals to them like they are for other players, as they don't have the same consistency year to year and/or performance that correlates heavily to the rest of the team.

Yeah like I said, only a select few get 7 or 8 deals. Most teams prefer it in the 4 to 6 year range for less risk it seems.Sorokin got 8. Vasilevskiy 8. Saros just got 8 years. Bobrovsky got 7 (max for changing teams). Hellebuyck got 6. Binnington 6. Markstrom 6. Grubauer 6. Price and Gibson had gotten 8. Even Jarry and Merzlikins got 5.
Shesterkin, Demko and Oettinger are sure to get long term deals next.
I really don’t see the comparison to RBs. Goalies aren’t near as disposable - the challenge is finding a
How do I join?My Manifestation Club had open requests tonight and we did Swayman 8 years at 62 M with a Full NMC (I wanted a partial but a couple of Bruins fans in class refused to focus without it)
Expect a deal within 2 weeks

No one wanted that.This is starting to remind of PK Subban where hab fans where so desperate to pay him just because
You think people want Swayman signed “just because”?This is starting to remind of PK Subban where hab fans where so desperate to pay him just because

1) What goal scorer/RW do you expect to get? What assets are you giving up?That is not true, fans do not care about Jacobs money, what they care about is not having a bad contract, and they would like to see some cap space so as the room to make some moves when needed.

So do the Bruins have a backup plan?
Korpi and Bussi?
Will they be pals?
Start a lifelong friendship?
Will they hug after a win?
Hug some more after a loss?
In other goalie news crapola ...the Canucks as well are in a bind with their goalies, Demko and Silovs both have questionable health. They are keying on Kevin Lankinen.
Smart move by the Nucks if it happens.
Yuppers!
