Good tasting dip to enjoy watching someone making a great point.

No, takenI'm going to become the Joker.
50% chance he doesn't last more than 1 more season with the Bruins.All I have to say: Sayman asks for trade our big boss Gee Wally is gonna file for retirement again
I was utterly disappointed when I tuned into HBO last night only to find out that the new Penguin episode doesn’t come out until Sunday night.No, taken
The Riddler should be a super star ~ surprised it hasn’t happened.
After seeing the Swayman to KHL I need a few weeks vacation at least till after Topsfield Fair
Those days are done. long time ago with a dead cap. I'll argue a 25 year old Swayman and a 26 year old Rask thank you. No way on earth he should be signing a 4 year deal when all these young forwards and defensemen who have accomplished much less are all cashing lottery tickets. Goalies are now due. Hellebuyck was 6/6plus a long time ago. I'll take 8/8+ with the cap going straight upMcAvoy was coming off a bridge and was buying way more UFA years vs Makar. Pastrnak was a pending UFA with Richard Trophy who signed a contract as cap percentage totally inline with stars of that ilk.
You say “pay him like a 25 year old elite starting goalie” and people point to Helly or Saros or Demko or these other guys that signed at 5 or 6 as 25 year old elite starting goalies those don’t count for some reason. Those were obviously on shorter term deals. If Swayman wants 8, it’s just a dicier negotiation because none of the other young elite goalies not named Vasi have Signed a deal like that in 10 years. They all came in at short term and then cashed in later. If you want to argue that 25 year old Swayman is 25 year old Vasi, I’ll get my popcorn.
First of I think anyone would be bat shit crazy to go to Russia nowadays.No, taken

I would think GMs think its a waste of time. Zero chance they don't matchThe part of this story that I don't get at all is if he's the youngest top 5 goalie in the league (I believe he is) and is generally considered a top 3 goalie value asset at 25 and everyone knows you need that to win, where are the freakin' offer sheets? Wouldn't Gross want to drive that up Don's so and so? I am sure he's out there selling! Where are the trade offers? Its not often a guy like Swayman is out there...
As a Sens fan, pretty pathetic game by the rookies (only 1 vet in that game) but Ullmark was great.On a completely unrelated note, I notice that Ullmark saved 28 of 29 shots in 30 minutes and 20 seconds last night for Ottawa.
Plus you do that to a team and you’re going to have all your RFAs offersheeted out of spite by other teams.I would think GMs think its a waste of time. Zero chance they don't match
McAvoy was coming off a bridge and was buying way more UFA years vs Makar. Pastrnak was a pending UFA with Richard Trophy who signed a contract as cap percentage totally inline with stars of that ilk.

Yep Again it’s the bruins mismanagement of the cap that has led to this. Guessing Swayman would have been more up for a 4 year extension last summer before the arbitration hearing and stellar first round. Oh and also before they traded their insurance policySaros, demko, belly bridge deals aren’t comparable a because those three signed their bridge deals ahead of arbitration hearings. So it’s not a very comparable situation.
But for some reason you keep ignore that extremely important factor.

I remember the Ducks winning the Cup and being on a long run of winning teams. This coming version is loaded with top end talent. He wouldn't be suffering any time soon in Cali.Swayman has to be willing to sign one, and all indications are he shown no interest in going somewhere else
Let's say if he decides to sign an offer sheet with Anaheim for 8/72. He has to do so with the understanding that he will be forced to spend the rest of his hockey career in hockey hades. Anaheim is a nice place, weather is good, you can golf year round, you can go to Disney everyday, but the team is bad, and few people care. And yes the bruins would be forced to say good luck to him, and take the 4 first round picks in return.
Hopefully it was his wife that gave birth....Off topic but Elias Lindholm had a baby boy today. Congrats
