Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman IV - even more nothing

[TP70BruinsCup]

I think I liked hockey better when I didn’t know and there was much less about how much a guy made and wanted. But that’s just me.

No fan should be rooting for management to play hard ball with one of their core pieces. This isn’t a Jake DeBrusk you’re talking about it’s the future netminder you think will get you a cup. If the Bruins shit the bed will you give the brass a standing ovation and and be thankful they held firm?

Team has the cap room, absolutely zero talent coming up that will require a big day and stars don’t come up in UFA, only guys you need to overpay like Lindholm, Zadorov, Stephenson, Compher etc


So trade him. Give him 2 years so he can be a UFA then. What’s that? Brass doesn’t have the balls?

More cap space is better for the team

I also want to know why I haven't seen one person call Elias Lindholm or Nikita Zadorov selfish. Why is an overpriced free agent deal not some sort of personal failing worthy of scorn but Jeremy Swayman is a selfish dickhead? Why didn't Lindholm or Zadorov sign for a lot less? Why didn't they take team friendly deals? What teh f*** have they ever done for the Boston Bruins? Jeremy Swayman has done a shit ton, but he's the bad guy and they're swell fellas?

"Well, they were free agents and he's restricted."

If they cared about winning they wouldn't have handicapped the Bs with these high-priced deals, right? Or does that only go one (s)way when we want to shit all over a talented homegrown kid who has never given us a reason to root against him?

That’s the way it works. You love Boston. The town the Team the players. Settle for a bit less and win more.

It's all probably just manufactured drama for the Amazon TV series. This will be a great episode to market the intensity between gm and player in contract negotiations.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that was already filmed. It covers the players from last year and in the playoffs.

Would be surprised if Swayman let cameras follow him around as long as he doesn't have a contract.

My only wish was that this situation was signed, sealed, and delivered before Linus was traded.

That makes sense it's already filmed
