When did Sweeney's job start hinging on a Swayman deal? Has that been brought up anywhere besides this board? If you think Sweeney has been a dick in these negotiations, that should make him a favorite with the Jacobs ownership, no? Bruins should have a top 3 blue line in the league and can survive less than top 5 sv% goaltending.
I must have missed the part where Sweeney lost his job because of overpaying for Backes.If Sweeney signs Sway, and overpays at this point in his career and is not capable of doing the job Sweeneys job is in jeopardy.
I am a BRuins fan first, but I must admit there a few out there you being one of them, that I would love to see Sweeney give him 10mil a year and fall on his face , I do not a injury, should he fail I will wake up every day and haunt f***s so much so that you go into hiding............hahahaI must have missed the part where Sweeney lost his job because of overpaying for Backes.
I'd also say that there's a better chance Elias Lindholm's contract looks bad 6 years from now than any deal Swayman signs.
No! lets stick to high......hahayeah maybe a bit but it's negligible
Sweeney doesn't need to create an environment where RFAs hold out. Full stop.
They can use arbitration next time.
as dangerous as that might be , I'll take the chance.The Hockey News:
"While the Bruins have until Dec. 1 to sign Swayman, it would be disastrous if they started the year without their No. 1."
Will it?
You’re telling me you’ve never seen a Bruins related squabble over a contract since 1974?????????Never seen anything like this before as a 50 year Bruin fan. Im done with this player, get rid of him if you can.
He has forever put a target on his back and will be mocked for every shit goal he gives up and will be shredded for not being able to carry the team on his back like a 10m goalie should.
The Bruins or their players will not want to deal with that going forward, he's toast in Boston.
One could assume they might not make the playoffs with their current goaltending maybe and the GM would be let go.When did Sweeney's job start hinging on a Swayman deal?

all contingent to how that works out .It hasn't, and that wasn't my point. His job doesn't hinge on this deal getting done.
But his job security will very much be impacted by what happens if they don't sign Swayman. If he trades Swayman and Swayman is a Vezina candidate goalie elsewhere that's not great for Don. If the goalies that replace Swayman aren't good that's really bad for Don, too.
All of which is leverage for Swayman now.
I wouldn't assume that. This isn't a playoffs or bust season, and Im not sure you can "assume" Korpi would be a bottom 5 goalie.One could assume they might not make the playoffs with their current goaltending maybe and the GM would be let go.
Tell that to Brad Marchand. How many more years do you think he has?I wouldn't assume that. This isn't a playoffs or bust season, and Im not sure you can "assume" Korpi would be a bottom 5 goalie.
What? He's 36. He knows what is going on. We made the playoffs last year with 0 top 6 centers on the roster. Now we might have two, and our defense might be the best in the league. People are losing their minds.Tell that to Brad Marchand. How many more years do you think he has?
This is never how it works when it comes to the pillars of your team.narrator: it isn't
And the organization has just told you as much.
Sweeney has countless more RFAs to sign in the future. He's not setting a very bad precedent here letting bad agents hold the process hostage. You don't cave here because of the next 20 deals. That's all there is to it.
Sway can sit and nuke his career, which is finite. Give it a go kid.
Yes he's 36 with injuries piling up. He has at most 2 years after this one. I didn't say that they wouldn't make the playoffs without Swayman (but it's definitely a possible outcome) just that this year is absolutely 100% playoffs or bust.What? He's 36.

If I recall correctly, when Byron Dafoe was at loggerheads with the Bruins over a contract, he fired his agent and renegotiated his own deal. Front office has accelerated the deadline from December to 8 October. If Korpi stands on his head tonight, that might spark better discussions between the sides with one week left to go. If he sieves out, it is another talk altogether.as dangerous as that might be , I'll take the chance.
Here's my take,
Swayman resetting the market , no, you're over evaluating yourself
That you're butt hurt over arbitration , your either spilling the BS your agent told you to spill , or your the dumbest f*** ever.
I take him to Dec 1st, have his agent explain to him thereafter how that was a smart choice.
Next year , your back on the ride.
Meanwhile idiots like Button say Sway has all the cards .
that's the same f*** who convinced the habs to take Kokeniemi over Brady Thakuck
RIDE ON BUTTON , YOU IDIOT
We arent building a team around Brad Marchand. Not sure what you are panicking about. Bussi might not be around but we can make the playoffs without Swayman. We have $8.6 million in cap space to figure it out with.Yes he's 36 with injuries piling up. He has at most 2 years after this one. I didn't say that they wouldn't make the playoffs without Swayman (but it's definitely a possible outcome) just that this year is absolutely 100% playoffs or bust.
Like you said, they just signed Lindholm and Zadorov. Over 12m in free agency and not making the playoffs would be absolute disaster.
Just depends on if you like their chances with Korpisalo or not.
Marchand, at 36 is recovering from three offseason surgeries, and recently had double hip surgery, and you are saying he has two more years after this one, uuuummm, after mull that one over, but getting back to Sway, the Bruins need a RW, a goal scorer and at any time a Marchand replacement, that is why you pay Swayman, a fair contract but you will need to fill those needs that I have mentioned. But I know you and Sway kid , and others only mission is to sign your boy crush.Yes he's 36 with injuries piling up. He has at most 2 years after this one.

If we Bruins fans took every bad contract signed to heart nobody would survive. Like I said it's sports, doesn't affect my real life in the leastI am a BRuins fan first, but I must admit there a few out there you being one of them, that I would love to see Sweeney give him 10mil a year and fall on his face , I do not a injury, should he fail I will wake up every day and haunt f***s so much so that you go into hiding............hahaha
