Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman IV - even more nothing

[ON3M4N]

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.

The real question is if he signs today i.e. the first day of camp. Which thread has more activity, this one or the camp thread?

I think it's possible that Bussi would be claimed, but not probable. I'm not sure he's shown enough to have too many interested parties. But of course it only takes one.

My take is Sweeney would like to keep him, because he is a solid option for Providence and to have around should something go wrong in Boston. But he's not going to bury JK to do it. Don will simply take his chances with waivers, see if Bussi clears, and then deal with it as necessary if he doesn't.

My personal opinion is that, while I would have preferred that Korpisalo wasn't signed in the first place, now that he's here the Bruins just have to roll with it and see what they can make of him. You don't put a 30-year-old on $5 mil in the AHL for re-tooling - he has nothing of value he can learn down there - rather you let him play with the big boys and see if he sinks or swims. Bussi has some talent and potential, but end of the day his stats to date are no more than ok. I don't believe he's done enough to warrant moving from the opening roster a guy who, whatever his faults, is a nearly 10-year NHL veteran on decent coin. You start with the vet and go from there.

I respect that you see it differently, but I am 99% certain that, whatever you or I think, Bussi's getting waived.

Bruins are paying 3 mil a year.

Easy about what? I don't like the show becuase Hill surrounds himself with dopes (Curtis gets an honorable mention). You like listening to it? Go right ahead. I am not stopping you.

good for you.......

I am betting equal.

Nah, the real question is if he doesn't sign today, which thread gets more action today?

Bruins generally only leak when the player is no longer a Bruin or their minds are made up on someone to jettison them.

 

[goldenblack]

If it's 8ish but times 8, that's great based on where the cap is going.

I'm not going to worry about 7 vs 8.

I've got nothing new and nothing on what the contract would look like. The Bruins are as tight lipped as Wally's finger on the ban button. If you message anyone on the Bruins asking about it, all you get is a

My guess? If you don't hear before the Sweeney presser today, then it's not happening today. That's my hunch.

Y'all are gonna know before me. I have a day filled with intrusive medical tests starting in the next hour with no access to the internet. So the first thing I will do when I can is check here for a signing. Or not.

Best of luck to you, wishing you well today!

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Thanks -- I'll take it down.

In fairness to my brother he first texted me what others said they heard on WEEI -- so it seemed to make sense in that context.

Well take in the consideration of the source from WEEI as well. Not exactly a Hockey Insider.

 

[goldenblack]

imagine a world where there was never anything to worry about here

all the insiders appear wrong on this. I also noticed none of the big guys like LeBrun or EF had anything to say on this.

another guess.

Right. So it just goes to prove that these folks on WEEI like Keefe and Courtney are just throwing shit at the wall.

agreed 100%

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".

Harvard Management School 101- Prioritize.

I get it. Most of those things are low priority at best. However, I take issue with, and draw the line at, your inclusion of the Penske file.

Cannot blame Donny for that. Impossible to overstate the importance of giving the old Penske file a proper shuffle on a regular basis.

Anything?? Bueller, Bueller?

Good luck, hope everything goes as smoothly as it can for you.

I think he signs this week, 6 x 8.25M gets it done.

I'd be somewhat disappointed if it was under 6 years, and very disappointed if it was under 4

 

[DaStinger]

4x7.25 is my guess

 

[EXTRAS]

My sources are telling me the harley contract is being looked at as a comparison

 

[Dicky113]

Sounds like 8 x 8.5 is the deal…
