The NHL, the stupidest League ever.
I see 7 for 7.
Decent raise for a goalie who has been sharing duties for the last 2 years.

My first guess was Gustavsson. Essennsa makes sense.Who is that?
This would be really dumb.I don't think they listed where they heard it themselves

It defiantly is Bob E. I was sitting next to him. All of the players got a kick out of him sitting there as backup.My first guess was Gustavsson. Essennsa makes sense.
This is silly. If he keeps Ullmark, he doesn’t get a first round pick this year and isn’t able to sign Zadorov or Lindholm without leaving no space for Swayman. And then when Ullmark updates his list, you have nowhere to trade him to. You only keep Ullmark if you’re trading Swayman.
The idea that just because Swayman hasn’t signed (along with every other significant RFA by the way) means Sweeney sucks at his job and has bungled this is incredibly ignorant.
Owners.
Players.
2 sides of the same coin.
It’s always about the money.
I mean sure - they could have traded Geekie or Zacha or Coyle too. But then doesn’t that bring back the same issue the was originally talked about - having no leverage because other teams know you have to make a deal?Not true. They can be about $9m over the cap in the summer if they want. Plenty of time to address a whopping $2m difference between Korpisalo and Ullmark.
Don't sign Max Jones and go with someone else from PRO.
Waive/trade Peake and go with Wotherspoon and Regula as 6 & 7 (or sign any of a number of cheap guys as a #7 instead of Regula.)
It can be debated if Korpisalo + Peake would be better than Ullmark + Wotherspoon, but it's factually inaccurate to say that they wouldn't have room to sign Swayman.
Another solution would have been to not take back a bad contract.
You claim someone makes a silly argument and call them ignorant...I mean sure - they could have traded Geekie or Zacha or Coyle too. But then doesn’t that bring back the same issue the was originally talked about - having no leverage because other teams know you have to make a deal?
Ok. Walk me through how much cap not signing Max Jones saves you.You claim someone makes a silly argument and call them ignorant...
and then you try to compare Zacha and Coyle to Max Jones and Andrew Peake.
You were either wrong about not fitting Swayman or you knew they could be over the cap but it didn't fit your argument. $2m at most doesn't require clearing $5m.
Simple math that even you and a Harvard grad should be able to figure out. I would've thought anyway. Maybe not.
8 million for 5 years is what I figure
If he was a UFA this year what do you think he’d get as a contract?How do you give a goalie 8 million when he hasn't cracked 45 regular season games in a season and has played in two playoff rounds?
Never what we expectIf he was a UFA this year what do you think he’d get as a contract?
I do not know enough about these two prospects to comment intelligently.This would be really dumb.
You don't, that's why he isn't signed if that's his demand. Frankly no way I would be paying him that.How do you give a goalie 8 million when he hasn't cracked 45 regular season games in a season and has played in two playoff rounds?
Just curious on why the B's would not do the 3-4 years at a reasonable deal? I think that's a risk they would take considering his work load to date.I don't see Swayman agreeing to a long-term deal unless he gets huge money, like something starting with an 8 at least. And that makes sense.
My bet is he's willing to sign for an AAV under 6 if it's only for 3-4 years, but the Bs don't want do that for obvious reasons.
Hell no.....Give him the Sorokin deal. 8 years at 8.25 per.
3 years only buys 1 year of UFA. Contracts ends with him a 28 year old UFA ready to cash in.Just curious on why the B's would not do the 3-4 years at a reasonable deal? I think that's a risk they would take considering his work load to date.
8x8.25 was my prediction months agoHell no.....
This is what I have been expecting, lets get this signed alreadykeep it simple, 8x8 is a steal
