Scary numbers. I love the guy, but yikes. 9-10M is crazy high for any goalie, especially one who's career-high GP is 44 in a season.
I have my pitchfork at the ready, Donny. Don't f*** this up.
There's 0 justification for over $9M at any term length. With two more RFA years until he could hit unrestricted free agency, his leverage is limited.
How does that increase his value to over $9M?I mean, in addition to signing a huge offer sheet he can always demand a trade and say he's played his last game as a Bruin. He's not really that limited if he doesn't want to be.
Their is no friggin way he is worth 9 mil per year. He does not have enough of a resume to be considered in this price range.How does that increase his value to over $9M?
not a knock on you.....just the article....Well, to be honest, I didn't really read it. I just sent it along on a slow off season day to perk up the faithful.
I failed.
I think if I’m Donny I’d like to have him sign September 17 or whenever camp opens upDeal is done. Hold off announcement and leverage publicity. Free marketing for bruins. Powerful tool. I say 5 year deal at $7.
The fans suffer the most. Take a family to a game? I’ve worked with many players and know them well,I feel no sorrow for them.

And what makes you think he would be able to find that kind of offer from another team? Offer sheets are incredibly rare as it is for even skaters. No goaltender in the cap-era has ever signed one, it would be unprecedented. Which teams need a $9M+ goalie, and has the cap space, and the ability and willingness to give up a minimum of a 1st, 2nd and 3rd (or 2 1sts, a 2nd, 3rd) draft picks?a) Another team offers him that
b) he tells the Bruins he's pissed about arbitration and that's their price, otherwise they can trade him.
Again, he has leverage if he wants to use it. Which was my point.
Do not let JS dictate how the upcoming years of Cap increase will be used. You cannot give all the money to one out of character individual who thinks he is worth whatever amount. Give him 6.5 to 7 mil per year final offer.a) Another team offers him that

The world does not come to an end without JS.
I thought they would get lucky to get him for 8x8, figured it would be higher. Either way they have to sign him, if it's 9 or 10 then a player or players will have to be moved out.
Okay. Just to clear it up - I said his leverage was limited. I'm not sure why you responded to that statement with bringing up the possibility of offer sheets if you didn't actually think it was realistic (and would actually give him some leverage).You asked HOW. I feel like you're very intent on having an argument with me I have not made! I'm just explaining why he does have leverage with the Bruins if he wants to use it. OBVIOUSLY, so obvious I didn't think it needed to be said explicitly, a team WOULD HAVE TO f***ING OFFER THAT.
f*** you are being pedantic.
He goes to a team that wants a young top 10 goalie and has a ton a cap space. Sweeney can say he won't trade him but when you are building a defense first team a rookie goalie and Korpisalo are not your best choices for a starter and your projected number 1 for the next 8 years in Swayman is demanding out you have two choices, pay up or trade.How does that increase his value to over $9M?
Well you can put him on a pedestal and give him 9-12 mil but he does not deserve it based on experience. His stats have been complied within a very limited time frame. He is not God and will not win the Cup without a lot of help. Money needs to be reserved for the other hired help.You asked HOW.

Sweeney should read him this post. I think it will convince Swayman. Maybe he'll sign for league minimum.
