So really, the drop dead date isn't December 1st. I mean, at the point, even if Swayman signs for $8m per year the cap hit would be over $10m to the Bruins. They couldn't do that even with a 20 man roster.

The cap hit on November 1st would be $9m and even that leaves them no money for the cap, but they could do it with a skeleton crew roster.

And that's assuming Swayman signs for $8m, which he won't.

After learning this, if he's not signed by the second week of the season, he's not going to play this season. My doubts surrounding a trade remain. He's not getting over $7m/year anywhere else (potentially Utah?), and I don't see how we get enough back to make a trade worth it from the Bruins' perspective.

I think he ultimately signs 8x8.25.

How high can the Bruins go? $10.2 million for Swayman and a 13th forward.

Or we can just give him $12m and go with a 20-man roster. Might have to just to fit his ego in the room. Or we can pay him $8.25 and go with a 23-man roster and pay TJ $1m. Who tf is Jeremy Swayman that we need to lose a roster spot because of him? There’s no “I” in team son. Hell, there isn’t even an “I” in Jeremy Swayman. There are two “y”s tho, and a whole lotta whine.

My figure as well

The agent is not getting paid his chunk till he is signed and logically would want 8 years

I wouldn’t trust Swayman to not dump me lol

The agent would be wise to get this done asap before Monday late afternoon

I feel a lot better evaluating playoff expectations in a world of actual results, as opposed to a world of 6 RS not played over 6.5 months.

If you can't trust him over the regular season, you shouldn't trust him for the PO's. But, you do you, but you seem to be in the minority with your take. I can live with that.

I love the player, have since Maine. He'll most likely be worth 10-12 in 3-4 years, but that still is an assumption. The fact that he did go into a slump post AS Game for 6 weeks, shows it can happen. We had Linus to bail him out and get his game together down the stretch. It was during that time that he got "Michigan'd over the shortside stickside. Same side he let his worst go of the PO in, which just happened to end Boston's season.
It is not impossible that the more the league sees him, the more they figure him out. That's why goalies are great for 2 or 3 year and then slowly make their way back to the AHL or overseas.
Do I expect it?, no, not really, but an 8 year, top dollar contract, leaves a team no escape hatch in the event it happens.

I swear on Jack Hughes cute little head I have Judy Collins ‘Both Sides Now’ playing in background

I can see both sides although I wish Cam took his shoe off banged it and thrown it at someone so @LSCII could understand the true meaning of a hissy fit

Yup. I agree. No offer sheets
8 million for playing goal.
250,000.00 to buy a load of Kleenex to dam up his tears from all the crying and bitching.

Ok now do their career numbers.

Otherwise we can do:
Elias Lindholm- 15g, 29a, 44 pts just signed for 7.75m x 7 years
Tommy Novak- 18, 27, 45.... just signed for 3.5m

People talk about Swayman not playing enough while you bring up backup after back up. Love this place.

The absolute peak irony is this is less an indictment of Swayman, but a indictment of Korpisalo

That Lindholm signing is a freakn disgrace, maybe that justifies Swaymans ask .

There lies the difference in how positions have been qualified. Goaltenders historically are not going to get paid what a forward with reasonable stats would make. Fair or not it is the history of positional contract levels.
Swayman wants to change that with a 3 season sample size. We could be talking about either Lindholm contract actually.

So if it's true the Bruins went to 8 and Swayman is at 8.7-8.8 the Bruins should just pay the loudmouth president tax, go to 8.5 and get it done by Monday afternoon.

This is finally ending peeps, shame on both if it doesn't happen.

I haven't agreed with really any of your takes so far but I'd probably do 8.5 if that gets it done before Monday.
