Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman IV - even more nothing

[ON3M4N]

If only there was a way to do that....
To get a 3rd party to, I dunno, mediate or arbitrate and find middle ground...

I mean I'm sure if it was that easy it would have been done lol. With a 6yr deal it make Swayman a UFA at 31yrs old. Is that something he really wants? probably not. If Boston doesn't want to do a long-term then would Swayman want to just get to UFA status as soon as possible? If so he'd be looking for a 2yr deal, which likely isn't something Sweeney & Co want to do.

I just want it to be over and have him signed, so the team can better focus on training camp and the upcoming season. Is that too much to ask for?.

My mask features a Bruin head on either side of it. Think Chicago Bears logo, but gold instead of orange.

We were getting ready to get on the ice last night in exhibition league action, and this little kid told me I looked like Jeremy Swayman.

I told him he’s my cousin.

Little Kid: Well, tell your cousin to hurry up and sign!

Crosby signs, 8.7 for #87, Swayman should follow suit and take 1.0 for #1

The pressure must be getting to Sway big time. He looks tiny. It's like he shrunk over the summer.

His GF looks pretty thin so I’m guessing he’s into kale salad and water with a lemon

Seen a few of my buds in love turn from a diet of North Shore beef and pizza to stuff growing in my yard

Hope he’s not as skinny as looks he’s playing goal not walking a runway in fashion week in Paris

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Can Bussi win the Calder or is there an age limit?

 

[Johnny Upton]

Can Bussi win the Calder or is there an age limit?

A player has to be age 26 or younger by September 15th of their rookie season. This was enacted after Sergei Makarov won it as a 31 year old “rookie”.

This one hit way to close to home.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

North Shore beef vs kale salad. hmm... true love I guess.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Me going to hf for 10 seconds a day all summer to see if Sway signed.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Since 'nothing' is not quantifiable and 'more nothing' is therefore an impossibility, the fact that this thread nonetheless exists tells me there must be 'something' worth posting about. Yet here we are.....

Come on Don and Sway. Get a deal done and free us from this illogical hell

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

My patience is wearing thin!

 

[SPV]

If Swayman is stuck on 9.5 then I’m fine holding. I think it’s way too much. Raymond just got 8.1 and he’s done more than Swayman so far too.

 

[Dizzay]

Swayman signs today........day before camp starts, everyone breathes a sigh of relief

comparing Swayman to Raymond is comparing apples to oranges. One guy is a LW and the other is a Goalie. One guy is 21yrs old coming off an ELC and the other is 25 coming off his 2nd contract

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Today is the day to start paying attention. I think it may still take a few days, but was never really expecting anything before now

One also has 100 more games on the other.
One's 2nd contract was a one year contract.
Both were/are RFA's.
Both are young very very good players but not the most proven.

One took a pretty fair deal compared to other LW's in the market
One is apparently looking to be one of the highest paid at his position with 132 career games played.

It's fairly accurate aside from the position they play & the fact one of them wasn't on a media tour talking about their contract negotiations/business skills.

 

[Fenian24]

Leaves 812k cap space, get it done, start the season

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Camp opens Weds. If you don't want to pay him long term, deal him, man up.

LOL

 

[BigGoalBrad]

This is going to get weird bc we actually do have the cap space.

Big loser will be Swayman bc I think Korpisalo and Bussi do well and it’s impossible to come back mid season and not be worse off. I like Sway but 2 years in a row he let Ullmark outplay him regular season and then screw us in the playoffs.

Bruins should give in and do a short term deal who cares if he becomes a UFA you have 12 months before that to negotiate. Can’t see the sides agreeing to anything 6-8 years long.
