Happy Swayman is signed as this whole situation was really dragging down my enthusiasm for this upcoming season. In the end, they more or less landed where most people thought they would at 8 years in the $7.5-8.5 million range. I can't help but look at the end result and wonder if it was worth all the public nastiness and bad blood from both sides to get here. Feels like this could've and should've been signed months ago without all the extra theatrics and missed training camp.
That's a lot of years and a lot of money for a goaltender. I think Swayman will ultimately be well-worth the gamble and we'll hopefully all look back on this contract as a great deal a few years from now. For Swayman, there's going be a major shift in his perception with the media and general fanbase from here on out; he's no longer the overachieving up-and-comer, he's now THE GUY and is being paid like he's THE GUY. I sure hope he has Tuukka on speed-dial for advice as he's undoubtably going to hear about it whenever he has a bad game moving forward.
Here's hoping he has a list of all the bad things the Florida Panthers said about him on the ice last year for when they meet them in the playoffs again lol.
