FIRE DON SWEENEY INTO THE SUN
This is a total non-response to my point, but I think you know that.
Also, Harry Sinden took Ray f***ing Bourque to arbitration, so yeah, he is evil.

Mostly not serious input..
The cheapest Vezina winner after the awards ceremony this year AND cost controlled for many more. Don Sweeney is Nostrodamus of NHL goalies.

We’ve also heard the following rumors
-chychrun is part of the Ullmark package
- swaymans camp and Sweeney haven’t been in contact for 3 weeks
-swayman was going to sign within 24 hours starting 9/17
-swayman and the team are closer than what the media is say(reported in august)
I’d say about every rumor has been brutally off. So I wouldn’t trust them on the $10m thing either
He is ineligible to play for the rest of the season, he doesnt become a UFA unless Boston doesnt qualify him.
Swayman said mid summer he would set the value for goalies down the road. Sounded like it came from the NAPA

Don't forget that it couldn't happen while the Hlinka was going on but that it would get done after that!

Based on an 8-year, $64 million contract, here is how the cap hit is affected based on signing date for whoever asked.

Hence why he will most likely fire his agent and sign. Swayman camp can only hope the back ups fail otherwise they are f d. No doubt the union is pressuring Sway to stand firm and set the goalie market. All to obvious. O

That is not what was said. What was said was " I don't expect anything will get done during the Hlinka" in regards to all the rumors that were going around at that time.

He can demand a trade no matter how well or not the backups play.
Even if he sits out the whole year in the NHL, how long are the Bruins going to let a major asset bring them zero value? At some point they would move him.

He’s going to sign but doubt over 8.5. Don’t Price price out the team with a goalie.
Not my first choice.....was thinking of where it could be too....
Utah comes to mind. Lots of young talent, lots of drafts picks stashed....
I guess on the plus side the Bruins could get a top 10 pick next year, sadly it would be their own, as utah likely finishes ahead of Boston if we gave them Sway for futures

Saros last contract is another very fair comp and falls inline with these numbers. An 8 year term makes it hard because of those far out years with a much higher cap, Swayman could be getting north of 10 if he keeps proving it. It’s why I think a 4-6 year deal is where we will end up. Maybe closer to 7 than 6 AAV.

I can’t wait for the Bruins to be a “decent goaltender away from competing!”
“If only we had a goalie who could steal a game!”
You can bet the PA does.
And I'm certain they have made their position known.
Radio silence.

You would hope 6-8 with a number it as close to 8 as you can get. I wonder which side is the holdup? If the agent is leaking these numbers it would appear the Bruins aren’t coming up.

Nope thats not what he said either.
Swayman was awarded a one-year, $3.48-million contract in arbitration last year. As a restricted free agent again in 2024, Swayman's in prime position for a bigger deal. He emerged as the Bruins' No. 1 netminder last season, and Boston, which currently has over $8 million in cap space, traded goaltender Linus Ullmark over the summer.
"And the answer I'm going to give you this year is that I've educated myself and that I understand the business side of it all," Swayman added. "It's given me a complete new mindset of understanding the business and how to react to it. I understand the cap is going up, and where it will be in years. I understand my comparables, and how I can't ruin the goalie market for other guys that are going to be in my shoes down the line."
He said he doesn't want to ruin the goalie market. So hes saying he doesn't want to take a hometown discount because he feels it will put pressure on other goalies to also take hometowns discounts when their organization says " well swayman took a hometown discount".
