Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman: VII - agreed to 8 x 8.25 aav

[smithformeragent]

One could make the argument that we're beating a dead horse here.

So be it. Discuss, if you so choose. We'll keep all the Swayman talk contained to this thread.

If you have nothing meaningful to contribute to the conversation, move along.

We will not have this devolve into thread hijacking and flaming of other posters.

@Gee Wally

We have numerous deletions and more in here. We know tension and emotions are high.
But you folks must simply stop taking personal shots at each. Stay to topic.

If not we will be left with no choice other than adding thread bans.

Jeremy Swayman since getting his shot in 2021-22 (100 games played min)

In the NHL

16th in wins
6th in sv pt
4th in gaa

You guys are out to lunch

What do you think Ullmark is worth then?

He's 8th, 1st and 2nd in those categories over the same time.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Did they really? And Spittin Chicklets got their information from whom?

Bruins spoke for themselves.
Sways camp had Spittin Chicklets do their bidding.

Then the hypocrite had the balls to go on social media and say he doesn't negotiate through the media.

Yes
Gross I would imagine
Trying to humiliate your star goaltender you want to lock up..yeah thats good
Well that came out after the 10mil Swayman ask rumor
Classic heel move, douchey agent handbook 101

 

[JOKER 192]

Can anyone explain why the Bruin chose not to take the arbitration award for two years and instead took one? I don't understand why that wouldn't mean anything to Swayman that the Bruins could have had him this year for 3 4 million but instead chose to negotiate a new deal for him and pay him.

They wanted to show some good fate.

They did it again when they traded Ullmark and handed the reigns to Sway.

They did it again when the passed on going to arbitration again this year.

That's a lot of good fate.

Where's Sway's good faith. He took the Bruins to arbitration and hasn't stopped crying about it since.

He should get 8 or 8.5 easily from the Sens, deserves it. Not sure how long though, I am sure they would work it out. Only issue is he will be 32 when it starts.

Right?

Where did Friedman get his info? I seem to remember when Friedman released that “the Bruins and Jermey Swayman are far part in money and term” that many of us here speculated that it was Gross throwing shit out there to try and create the threat of an offer sheet. That’s the initial salvo I remember. Then came he’s looking for 10m+ from Keefe. Then Spittin Chiclets. Then Sweeney/Neely. Then Gross tweet.

Not entirely sure when it started. But I know it need to end.

They didn't want to piss him off and have that expire with only one year left where he surely would have filed again and left in the summer of '26

I bet his number comes in at 7AAV.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

I bet his number comes in at 7AAV.

Possible with his age, but he should get Hellebuyck money IMO, term not sure of

 

[Pia8988]

Imagine if Kessel told the media he wrote down every mean thing Clode ever said about him and he put a checkmark after good in the playoffs after they beat Montreal. The meme would still be alive today. This is the dumbest negotiation I’ve ever seen.

Players invent sleights to motivate themselves

So who leaked the $10 mil to rich keefe in august and who leaked that a deal was done to WEEI in early/mind September?

Sure but most are smart enough not to bring it up in podcasts and center your episode on the new high profile Amazon series about it while holding out. He wanted the spotlight, he has it now.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Rich Keefe leaked it to himself. Like he always does.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

It was like 5 minutes ago. I just watched it on the simulcast. Your likely not a target audience.

And just how would you know that?

I follow the guy. He is good. Doesn’t mean I am going to like everything he does.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Good for you. I don't care.

You actually think Keefe has an inside source to Hockey?

You just made my Friday.

Good for you. I don't care.

You cared enough to reply

 

[Guelph Bruin]

Wow so now these radio clowns are funny and insightful?


Only one guy has lied in public so far though, so guessing it's Gross' move to top that

truths, lies, grey area ...does it really matter? It's a more than reasonable amount of money ...sign the damn contract before he torpedoes himself completely out of Boston

 

[Oates2Neely]

ie: they agree with your opinion.

Burn book, mean girls… I mean cmon that was a great take.

Swayman is mentally soft. I hold absolutely nothing against an athlete for chasing his number, it’s his right. But the whining & the burn book “I actually just looked at it the other day” it’s a terrible look.

 

[DKH]

Murray's parody songs were pretty funny. This really turned bad fast. We need to somehow get another scorer out of this. We need more offense.

Neil Young, Arbitration Breakdown, etc very creative and funny

Friday afternoon in the Fall, lot of traffic, number one rated show~ I feel bad for him. Just young and probably naive. Dont remember any other athlete getting hammered like this.

 

[UncleRico]

Rich Keefe leaked it to himself. Like he always does.

And Courtney cox leaked the deal was done to herself too?

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

So, who does Utah have that can help us this year that Sweeney is capable of getting? I like Shane Doan's kid but they have to get more than that, ideally someone that could help right now.

There is another way. You can flip him for picks and prospects and then you can flip those picks and/or prospects later in the year or at the deadline for what you need.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

And Courtney cox leaked the deal was done to herself too?

Why are you putting those things together?

She had it. Dom had it. Ty Anderson had it. A guy I trust had it. Why would you think it was the Bruins doing that as part of a media strategy to use Rich Keefe?

Because the bruins are also leaking info too

https://x.com/i/web/status/1828101705994530968

Bruins started here no? Negotiating through the media?

Everybody is lying except for Gross

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

If you think Rich Keefe and Courtney Cox are where the Bruins would leak info you’re further gone than I thought.

Not directly but I would bet when we track down WEEIs, Ty’s, dons and whoever your source is it all originated from someone on the bruins staff through some path to pressure swayman into signing.
