Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman -V - all still silent

[PaulD]

Downplay it all you want, but it was a pretty huge deal around here at the time, even if it’s an annual event lol

Lol.
I liked it too. All four 7 game series where Bruins beat the loafs. And all the other teams that beat them too.
As I'm one of those fans that have two teams. The Habs and who ever is playing g rhe loafs.

Long term deal ...8 x 8.5 will be signed before season starts.

Let’s hope! 8.5 is where it gets uncomfortable for me

 

[Kegs]

Ya but imagine 7.

Maybe Swayman can use this year to go back to business school, and learn how to recoup the millions of dollars lost. Because his agent told him to wit for bigger dollars.

How much money did William Nylander lose when he signed right before the season deadline?

 

[EverettMike]

Yeah but who was HIS agent, smart guy?

 

[TD Charlie]

Ya but imagine 7.

I’d like another mortgage in the 3’s

Pipe dreams

Who cares?

 

[Seidenbergy]

Who cares?

Obviously the person asking the question.

Why are we waiting if 8.5 for 8 is even remotely possible? 8 years? God I hope not.

Morning.

Making him the #3 highest paid active tender in the league? I mean maybe, but it seems pretty rich

It’s not as simple as that. Most of all, it is that Swayman has a lot of leverage because of the way the Bruins handled this situation, his youngish age, his projection, and the projected rising cap.

What is a more instructive way to look at it: where would Swayman’s cap hit be on the list 4 years from now.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Korpisalo 1.000 sv% in preseason? Yeah that's it, he's winning the Vezina. Swayman can rot.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Again, as a fan who cares what they pay Swayman? Let the capmasters figure out the scrubs at the bottom of the lineup and cut accordingly if need be. people are acting like the Bruins have a huge amount of talent in house that they need to save money for. If he is overpaid the first few years who cares? Cap will be 92 mil next year and up from there. "He can't be top 5, but top 10 paid is ok" WTF cares. Team is a cup contender with him, let's go.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Who cares?

You’re the one making the claim that Swayman would lose “millions of dollars”.

So… you?

 

[Fingertools]

aww ...poor Jeremy.
It's all part of negotiating.

JS beat the leafs in a play off round. So what. Like that's a real exclusive club.

It's amazing to me how many people on this board dismiss or devalue the Bruins' win over the Leafs in last year's playoffs, even though most of us agree Swayman was arguably the biggest reason - can you imagine the reaction on this board now if they would have lost?!?

Where his cap hit may be 4 years from now isn’t relevant. No other player signs with that in mind. Draisaitl may not be top 10 in 4 years - he didn’t demand a number that would ensure he’s top 3 in 4 years.

And what "SCRUBS" ! do you suggest they cut, and who do you suggest as replacements for these "SCRUBS"!

This is silly. Of course it matters - the cap is a zero sum situation. Hand waving away the effect every dollar has is short sighted. Look at the Leafs - do you think any fan there was rooting for their stars to get more money?

I'm tired boss

Yes, I am.

Swayman doesn't have a lot of leverage and it doesn't matter where his cap hit will be on the list 4 years from now.

 

[TD Charlie]

Still holding out to reset the goalie market and become the highest paid NHL player of all time despite never taking a bridge deal or playing a full season as a true starter and he's got no leverage so he should take whatever money the Bruins have left after they've overpaid everybody else but Sweeney only made one insulting offer and then didn't talk for 3 weeks then again Swayman can sit at home and ruin his own career because he's just mad Sweeney made negative remarks about him during arbitration and now Swayman is acting like a big baby complaining to the media and he doesn't deserve more than 6 million because Korpisalo will be almost as good as him or maybe the same and he makes a lot less than that
