Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman -neither elect arbitration (page 16)

[Saxon Eric]

Huzzah!

 

[DKH]

Sure seems easy to be an arbitrator.

80 % here had 2,25-2.5 M for Freddie & 3.3-3.5 M Swayman

However that was this year and Sweens got that for both

Phenomenal

 

[bb74]

So a top tandem in the NHL for 8.475M. Not bad overall budget wise for the coming year with Bussi as a fallback if injuries happen to either.

 

[Dr Hook]

Sway has two more RFA years

Yes and if he continues on this trajectory, he is going to get a raise next year.

 

[bruinmann77]

Next year you going see sway and Bussi

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Yes and if he continues on this trajectory, he is going to get a raise next year.

The Bruins only going one year shows they’re trying to take care of the kid, even with two more years of control after next year

 

[quietbruinfan]

Hate the one year, money favors the Bruins.

Thought the arbitrator set this deal?

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Thought the arbitrator set this deal?

Bruins decide whether to go for 1 or 2 years since the player filed.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

fwiw

Nailed it!

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Nailed it!

Good ol’ Dupes. Always has his finger on the pulse.

 

[Dr Hook]

Okay, fair enough, but I don't see how it matters to my point. He's getting paid more next season, RFA or not, unless he falls off a cliff.

 

[BruinDust]

Would of preferred two years but the AAV is on point.

5.55 was the middle between both Swayman and Frederic ask and the teams offer combined and they got them in for a tick above the halfway mark at a mere 225k.

 

[missingchicklet]

Glorious week for DS so far, Frederic and Swayman both on good deals. Awesome to have Swayman for that cost.

Now on to a big trade for a 1C...

 

[Patdud]

Bruins selected the One year award, probably planning on a big jump next year?

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Okay, fair enough, but I don't see how it matters to my point. He's getting paid more next season, RFA or not, unless he falls off a cliff.

He is but you said he could walk. He can’t for three more years.

Best goalie situation is league

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

Well I said 3.5 so pretty much spot on

 

[Dr Hook]

He is but you said he could walk. He can’t for three more years.

Tehnically, no, and I know you love to be precise here, but you get my point, I hope, without parsing out everything to death. Can he hold out? Yes. That's as good as a 'walking' in my view and amounts to much the same thing. The Bruins are still going to have to decide whether to pay both of them what will approach or exceed $10m AAV combined or not because Swayman isn't going to come in at or below where he is now.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Yeah I'm with those who don't understand why the Bruins wouldn't have chosen the two years. Have to figure that whatever the arbitrator came back with it would be beneficial for the longer the better.

Unless the length of contract factors in to the proposed salary number? More difficult to make a case for $2M/yr at two years rather than one?

I don't think that's how it works but I don't know what other reason they'd have.

 

[DominicT]

Just as predicted.

@mouser re your question in the other thread, Friedman always announces when one party is seeking 2 years as opposed to one like he did with Frederic. Otherwise it's a one year deal.

The plan is to lock him up long term next season. Two-year deal did not work in their plan.

Probably planning to trade Ullmark, more like it.

 

[Dr Hook]

Probably planning to trade Ullmark, more like it.

I don't know if they tried to move him this summer, but that is what I was alluding to somewhat inartfully in my posts about this. I would have liked to see them move Ullmark (if that is the plan) this summer and paid Sway in dollars and term instead having to go through this all over again next summer.

 

[Kegs]

Bruins have the best goaltending depth in the league?
