McAvoy

Krug
Swayman
Carlo

All missed the start of training camp while waiting to be signed as RFAs. I'm sorry facts aren't your forte. Maybe if I start up a podcast and say it.

That’s bizarro world.

Krug signed his deals on 3/6 and 6/30
McAvoy 9/15
Pasta 9/14
Carlo 9/17
Reilly Smith is lol. His deal was $1.4M. Come on.

That’s bizarro world.

Know what all those dates have in common?

They signed after training camp. Exactly what I f***ing said.

You missed Krug. He signed on October 5th his RFA year, Reilly Smith was the 18th. Both after camp opened.

So why is it when a talented RFA is up for contract they can't seemed to be signed before camp?

But they all signed right?

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Not the argument. Only a matter of time before one of these got ugly I guess due to the Bruins indifference to being proactive.

That's your obsession , no one else.

Clearly not since somewhat tried so hard to refute it

WTF?

 

[KillerMillerTime]

One could assume they might not make the playoffs with their current goaltending maybe and the GM would be let go.

Can't imagine the blowback if Swayman is traded for a package a bit better than Ullmark, say a Pinto level guy and a #1. To go from Swayman\Ullmark to Korpisalo\???
would be tough to take.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

That's your obsession , no one else.

It's a fact. Why do they choose to kick RFA deals down the road or whatever? It's like they work so hard on day one of UFA they need to catch their wind lol

They obviously feel like it will just get done, Don't prioritize it and the players don't have any real options and this time it seems a bit more difficult.

He's not an idiot IMO he will get it done even if it means caving

New Jeremy Swayman trade proposal emerges: there's just one problem

Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins are at odds with one another and it has subsequently led to a whole lot of trade rumors involving the goaltender. Swayman wants a long-term deal with the Bruins, however, it seems like the two are far apart on the term.

Sweeney would be fired before the news conference to announce it, and that;s if Gibson was healthy

It wasnt't a matter of time and none of the other negotiations turned as ugly as this. Im guessing its the agent.

McAvoy 9/15
Pasta 9/14

None of them had the tone this one has had, similar to Krugs talks, oh! and just so happens, that they both have the same agent..............Goodbye Jeremey, you and us fans could it had it so good.

What are you going on about, this is the perfect remedy to deal with Sway and his agent. you want to play hard ball, go toil it a bottom 5 team , that will learn you. Sway at 9.5 , Gibson at 6.4 ? Gibson every day for me. Watch those numbers turn around.

1 year for 8 million

Who says no

Anyone with two functioning synapses in their skull?

and why?

Because he can sign his qualifying offer next summer, pocket the additional $8m, then fly the coop.

 

[wintersej]

that's funny my DM say different, trouncing everyone is a word used a few times.

Gonna be a long eight years for you guys, I hope you can manage to enjoy the Bruins still while being backstopped by Sway.

8 years would be great! It's a harder contract because no RFAs have signed on since Vasi in the last 10 years, and Swayman obviously isn't remotely close to Vasi's resume at the time.

People keep bringing up Sorokin, but he was a pending UFA, was coming off being a Vezina finalist and had started 60+ games. That feels like a VERY VERY generous comp to Swayman.

Perhaps the disagreements in these threads are around the Bruins actually taking advantage of how the collective bargaining agreement works and not treating Swayman like he is a pending UFA?

To me, on an 8 year deal, Sorokin’s 8.25 AAV starting this year is the absolute absolute absolute max. And it really should be lower given that Sorokin was a pending UFA and had been better.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Nothing wrong with Anaheim. Nice weather. We can get by with Gibson, Korpi and a 1st.

lol right?

 

[Guelph Bruin]

Sweeney in the mirror every day of this negotiation ..... might be good might be bad...time will tell

 

[Shaun]

has tuukka recovered fully with his time off?

 

[BlackFrancis]

lol right?

People have been talking about leverage. There is no leverage that trumps, "Just stay home until you decide to sign your QO when you're making an apparently insulting amount of money."

He can’t even sign his QO any more. It’s stay home until you be a bit more reasonable.

 

[LiseL]

Look if you want to rant against the lowest common denominator you’ll always have material. But let’s not pretend that’s the prevailing sentiment.


What if Swayman wants 4 years?

Didn't a TSN insider report that both sides wanted long-term deals? I think it was either Lebrun or Dreger.

Wow, I had no idea there was a cutoff. Danka.
