Bruins would make PO if they resigned Cruz or For let instead of Zadorov. They won't make PO without Swayman.Okay, sure, but what about the question I asked? I'm looking for what people think they are worth to the Bruins in terms of actual dollars. I just think it's an interesting way to think about it.
Especially when the guy you are responding to was one of the ones saying the deal was done.He has sources he trusts.
Kind of like how there were a lot of people saying they had sources they trusted who told them swaymans dead would be done within 24 hours roughly a week ago today.
Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good sources
Cruz and For let were studs. Miss ‘em already.Bruins would make PO if they resigned Cruz or For let instead of Zadorov. They won't make PO without Swayman.
Thats life, many players play behind someone until they get their chance, then it is up to the player to prove that they will deserve a pay day, now is Sways, chance prove then get paid, up too you kid.I really have to question the front office at this point. Can they not proper evaluate goaltending talent and tell that Swagman is an elite goalie? The kid only played a limited amount of games because the organization limited his playing time. I am sure he wanted additional starts but the Bruins had a Vezina goalie and wanted to ride them both - that's fine but then you can't hold him accountable for not having enough of track record. Swayman was a stud in college, stud in Providence and a stud at the NHL level...theres the track record. Cut the stupid &&^(&*%^# and pay the man. 8 years at $8mill per and get on with it.
They did not intentionally limit Swayman, they played Ullmark and he was a Vezina trophy winner, that is how it works.It's not when you want to lock him up for 8 years. You can't intentionally limit a guy and try to use that against him in contract negotiations

I suppose you could do that, but it’s probably not the best way to make nice with your playersIt's not when you want to lock him up for 8 years. You can't intentionally limit a guy and try to use that against him in contract negotiations
Lol, Gryz and Forbort.Cruz and For let were studs. Miss ‘em already.

You're Canadian so I assume you never heard of John Hannah and Leon Gray circaThis is how much leverage Swayman has

What if the B’s start 3-8-1 and he’s got a GAA over 3.50?
How does Ryan Whitney know what the actual offer is? Speculation? Twitter?
Unless the agent or Swayman told you how could anything be actual?
Meh... I'm the type to wait and see what he can do in our system before casting judgement...he's had good years before. He's a Bruin now and I want him to excel. Swayman will be back at some point regardless.NHL Network Radio this morning stated Korpisalo ranked 97 out of 98 goalies that played in the NHL last season.

To Chicago:
Jeremy Swayman
To Boston:
Peter Mrazek ($1M retained)
2nd Round Pick
Who says no?

Of course it would! Goalies hold little trade value.Boston. That'd be worse than what they got for Seguin

I think everyone here has a figure they’d pay out and acceptWhitney really strongly implied, without actually saying it, that his source is Swayman's camp. It's direct. Could be making that up but I don't think so. Gross has form on this sort of thing.
I'm willing to take it on face value that the $6.2 or whatever exactly it was he said was accurate as being Sweeney's starting offer, because Don didn't deny it and it's perfectly plausible. But how much he's been willing to negotiate up from there we have no idea.
What seemed to really piss the GM off was the leaking (say whatever else you will about Sweeney, his office does not leak) and the allegation that he and Sway are not in regular contact. I'd dismiss it as ludicrous if not for the fact that Krug and DeBrusk have both said similar things in the past - Don has a bit of a habit of going quiet when he has an offer on the table that he's not willing to go beyond. Very different situations - the Bruins no longer wanted either player, whereas Sway is surely integral to our long-term plans, and for the reason I still find it really hard to believe. But it does make you think.
Ultimately, I think both sides expected there'd be some difference in their positions, but the difference has turned out to be wider and more difficult to bridge than they anticipated. So here we are. Personally, I think Sway is going to be a long-term star for the Bruins and anything under 10 is completely going to be worth it, no matter how long the deal is. Can argue he hasn't quite proven himself enough, but I'm comfortable that he's the real deal. My sense is he and his agent are perhaps making this a little more difficult and grubby than it needs to be (could do without the leaking), but end of the day the Bruins have a genuine game-winner on their hands here and it's on them to sort it out and get this done.
I would vomit
I’m just being an ass lol, damn autocorrect.Lol, Gryz and Forbort.
