Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman -V - all still silent

[Nothingbutglass]

On the contrary, Swaymans agent needs to make sure that Sweeney is aware that the first year cap cost goes up. The cap is a Sweeney problem, not a Swayman problem

Its absolutely a Swayman problem if he wants to play in the NHL this year.

One thing i am quite sure of. Sweeney and Gold know every single detail of the cap.

I assume he wants to play, but there’s no point in donating his services

Bruins only have X amount of cap space. If they cant fit him, they need to go with the Gs they already have. Unless you think they should dump someone to give him extra money?

All I’m saying is that’s not up to Swaymans agent to figure out. Whatever they feel the player is worth, that’s going to be the asking price.

This is really just baseless speculation, but part of my feels like Swayman is hellbent on proving himself as a true #1 now that the tandem is gone and wants to be in contention for the Vezina. I just don't imagine him wanting to let the hold out spill into the regular season and hurt his chances there. Or maybe he cares more about money and sticking it to Sweeney

Maybe. Maybe Sweeney wants to get passed the 2nd round this year and win a Cup for the first time. Or maybe he cares more about money and sticking it to Swayman.

It's the agent's job to figure it out. Swayman doesn't have a contract. He can't sign for an NHL team other than the Bruins this year. He better have a SHL team lined up as a backup if his asking price isn't met.

Yup.
Move on from the drama.
Pick up Lankinen.
Call'er good.

It just takes two to tango. Too many people here acting like Swayman should accept whatever pennies Sweeney has to offer, and not to try maximize his value.

Not to mention Bruins still have a few bucks to spend.

I think Swayman overplayed his hand with no leverage and the Bruins are getting ready to walk.

More BS about Swayman having "no leverage".

What is his leverage?

 

[JAD]

More BS about Swayman having "no leverage".

What exactly is his leverage?

Holding out?
Hoping Boston's other goalies faulter?
Request a trade?
Price himself out of Boston's economic plan?
Doing so may force Boston to trade other player's hurting overall team depth just to fit the cap.

Yup.
