Is anyone here taking into account the Massachusetts millionaires tax and it’s potential impact on this deal?

Tell us about it.

Think we're about to hit tipping point on how effective Swayman will be from a mental and physical standpoint, for this upcoming year anyway. I'm feeling he's gone if nothing happens this week.

Watching that last DiPetro goal "softie is putting it mildly" last night - my god how blessed has this fan-base been between the pipes for the past 15 years? We take it for granted (and many still complained on a daily basis) . . .GDTs will be even more unreadable if we start the season with a middle-of-the-road pairing between the pipes.

Tell us about it.

It’s an additional 4% tax hike on top of the already high state tax rate. On an 8 million dollar contract that’s an additional 320,000 in taxes. Again, that’s after the normal mass tax rate. Vasilevskiy‘s 9.5m in Florida is closer to 10.5 or 11m in Boston.

Meh, didn't stop Ohtani or James from playing in California. It's high tax also.

Swayman has openly said he’s bargaining a contract for future goaltenders. Pretty sure it’s Swayman who asking too much.

that's definitely not a selling point for for bruins to overpay him bc swayman has his own agenda

If the agenda is “earn what money I can until my body is incapable of doing so.”

Sure. Then again, that’s a goal of almost every athlete. They don’t do this for free. Certainly not in their prime

You mentioned nobody knows for certain how much Swayman is looking for … now that folk have posted his contract demands do you still believe it is Sweeney that is lowballing?

Swayman must feel like a fool sitting out while all other RFA's have signed lucrative deals. Swayman would be in the ballpark of Seider/Raymond money and term.

Sitting out because he is butt hurt over the arbitration hearing from a year ago. This, and his agent is a clown.

Sorry Sway, you have yet to play a full year a true #1 and you have zero leverage. Sit out my friend.

That being said I love Swayman and wish he was signed readying for the season but I'm on Sweeney's side here.
