Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman IV - even more nothing

[NDiesel]

Come on… COME ON

Honestly...kinda want it to be a PTO to watch this place panic

 

[DKH]

Don Sweeney is just plain dumb. Swagman is a top tier, young goalie who is great on and off the ice and wants to play here. Sign the damn kid. Give him his 8X8Mil and call it a day. It's the price of elite goaltending. You are paying for future performance and there is nothing that says Sway will regress...kid has an amazing track record and should only improve. Pick your battles Donnie and this aint one.

When did they battle ?

I would pay good money for that

 

[EverettMike]

Come on… COME ON

Have wanted few things more in life.

 

[GordonHowe]

Bussi we hardly knew you

No.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

No.

Korp's agent? Seemed Bussi would be most impacted by a swayman contract but I've got no real clue what goes on lol

I may have misinterpreted the intent there.

All I'm saying is that Brandon Bussi should in no way be up for grabs to anyone.

I definitely agree there, I just thought with him being waiver eligible he'd be the one to leave unfortunately

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Very exciting that this will be over tomorrow.

I feel like the legend of Bussi is way beyond the player. He was a good but not excellent College goalie. He's been good in Providence. He's already 26, and heading to unrestricted FA next summer, so if he plays well he's gone

Very big day for the mods haha

To begin with, most goaltenders do not mature until their late twenties. 26 is actually quite young for any NHL goaltender.

I do not peg Brandon Bussi as the second coming of Terry Sawchuk.

I only mean to say that Bussi is a legitimate goaltending prospect who has played well, and who would be instantly snapped up off the waiver wire.

Korpi, his record (albeit with nothing in front of him) and his contract - I don't see any club eager to take him on anytime soon.

If it were up to me and, and thank God for the rest of you it's not, if possible I would start JK in Providence and install Brandon Bussi as Swayman's number two to begin the season.

I am not certain of the waiver implications of doing so, but if possible, that would be my course.

Korpi can conceivably get his game back in the AHL, goalie Bob can coach him up for an NHL return, and either he will be an appropriate backup for Swayman or, after proving himself to whatever degree, trade bait at the deadline or prior.

When did they battle ?

Right. They've been in total agreement since Jan. 1. They just had things to do.

Korpi can conceivably get his game back in the ahl, goalie Bob can coach him up, and either he will be an appropriate backup for swimming, or perhaps, after proving himself to whatever degree, trade bait at the deadline or before.

It is very difficult to see the signing of Korpisalo as anything other than a vote of no confidence in Bussi. Which is not to say there's no hope for him in Boston, but he's going to battling uphill to earn a spot. There's no way the Bruins acquired Joonas and his $3 mil cap hit to stick him in Providence. Barring injury, he's going to get first crack alongside Sway which means waivers for Bussi. If he clears, then yeah maybe he can fight his way up from the AHL, if not he can try his luck elsewhere. Basically at this point Sweeney is prepared to lose him.

Donny said it best kicked it down the road

sway should be happy he did better than I thought

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Unfortunately if and when he signs it won’t end this debate from the seventh circle of hell. There will be a bunch of liking the contract or hating it.

Yep. Always a bell shaped curve here.

Don had to shuffle a couple things in the Penske file, get that all important Max Jones contract signed, send a fruit basket to Loretta Lynch, check in on Milan L., and get TyJo a PTO.

Swayman was a bit down the list, near "buy Mother in Law a birthday present".

Are you really the bruins starting goalie if half the fan base doesnt have an irrational dislike of you?

 

[slim399]

Every Bruins fan waiting for this signing to finally happen!

Just a guess but it’s probably going to come out pretty fair to both - Swayman was in a good position of strength

All’s well ends well

 

[Beyonder]

I don’t think you’re reading the tea leaves very well right now.

That wouldn't be the first time... but how so?

 

[DKH]

By Friday we shift to second line RW

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Maybe read the last couple of pages? Tweets and such?
