Red Wings should try and sign Swayman to a huge offer sheet. If it works they get a great young goalie, and if it doesn't they hurt a division opponent up against the cap.
Of course that assume Swayman decides to play along. Ultimately it seems Sway wants to stay in Boston. Signing an offer sheet with Detroit seems like something that doesn't help him accomplish that
And staying with Boston and handcuffing them doesn't help him. Now if it gets bad and no traction is made, then maybe his hands are forced and Sway has to pursue an offer sheet
Detroit still has to take care of their own two big ticket RFAs, Raymond and Seider.

I would ask him how much and for how long. As long as it’s reasonable and even semi unreasonable I hand him a pen. This needs to get done so we can look forward to 2011

Ultimately we have no idea if he wants to stay in Boston so long as he gets the contract he wants.
Signing a huge offer sheet would put the ball squarely in Boston's court and they would then decide if they want to keep him at his price or not.

But it’s a conceptual exercise at best. They don’t happen except in very rare circumstances. Yzerman isn’t the kind of guy to alienate himself from other GMs.

This time last year he wasn’t a big fan of his bosses and I’m sure he isn’t going to settle for less than he wants. You would
think the number comes in between 7.5 and 8.5

I feel like Swayman is a really tough contract, he’s arguably one of the top goalies in the league, but he’s also pretty inexperienced. He started only 44 games this season, and that was the most of his career. Comparing him to Shesterkin isn’t fair outside of what you hope he might become, Shesterkin has a Vezina and has started over 50 games several times, plus he had a playoff run about as good as Sway.
I feel like anything over 7 million is paying for potential. But with that said, I don’t know how you don’t pay it.

Questions for the LF:
1) A lot being mentioned about Swayman’s lack of experience compared to other goaltenders and the contracts they have received. How confident are you (in terms of %) that Swayman is/will-be a steady-to-excellent goalie long-term?
2) What contract(s) could Swayman sign with the Bruins that you would be UNhappy with?

Which Teams Makes Sense For A Jeremy Swayman Offer Sheet?
The deadline for teams to elect for arbitration came and went yesterday afternoon. Notably, the Boston Bruins decided not to …

The guy knows the playoff experience and knows how to handle the regular season. Sign him, don’t drag it out and concentrate on the real needs of this team

I’m happy with 8x$8.5M. Anything below that is gravy. With the amount the cap is going up in the next 3-4 years it’s a no brainer.

“I know we don’t have the hug anymore but there’s still going to be something going on after Bruins games, I can only imagine,” Swayman said in a Cameo. “Hopefully (Korpisalo) and I are going to find something cool, and we’ll keep that tradition going. No doubt.”
“He reached out to me right away,” Korpisalo said of Swayman last week. “He texted me and I had a warm welcome to Boston. We tried to catch up for a call the last couple of days, but I think we’ll manage to do it. He seems like a great guy. Can’t wait to meet him and get to work with him.”

Like $9.25? Or even more I’d be unhappy with a short term deal. I want the 8 years.
Honestly I be fine enough with anything under 8. 6.5 would be a home run, and over 8 it'd be one of those "overpay but had to do what we had to do" kind of deals for me.
Agreed on the term. Neither 5/6 or 8 years puts the Bs in an ideal spot for renewal, but I'd rather the prospect of signing him to a vet/sunset contract at 33 instead of those risky 30yo 8 yr contracts that always suck on the backend.

Does not sound like a guy who is unhappy and might not stick around and sign.“I know we don’t have the hug anymore but there’s still going to be something going on after Bruins games, I can only imagine,” Swayman said in a Cameo. “Hopefully (Korpisalo) and I are going to find something cool, and we’ll keep that tradition going.

For what its worth, I think there are more than a few teams in the east that could manage an offer sheet, need a goaltender, can afford the 1st,2nd,3rd, and would want to stick it to Boston.
The only thing I can think of keeping teams from doing this is reprisal offer sheets.

I think for the offer sheet to work they'd have to go much higher and that means a better picks package.
GMs worried about reprisal or upsetting their buddies should be fired. I hate it. It's a tool they refuse to use. Bad management.
