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.

This is encouraging. I don't want to have to sell his 4 rookie cards (in a Bruins uniform) at a loss, LOL.

Seriously though - with $7.8M of cap space, I also wonder how they can get a guy like Tyler Johnson under contract. Have to figure that he'd get at least $1M.

The $7.8M on Puck Pedia includes Patrick Brown at $800k. And two goalies (Bussi and Patera) at $775k each.

Put Johnson in for Brown. Even if it's $1M (it would be less), that's now $7.6M. Take away $1.55M as Swayman replaces those two goalies. We're at $9.15M.

If Johnson gets league minimum - as most PTOs end up getting - it's another $250k. so $9.4M.

This in a nutshell is what's wrong with the team today. Worrying about paying bottom of the roster stiffs and washed dudes on PTOs instead of taking care of players that are their future. At no point in this world should signing Tyler f***ing Johnson impact anything regarding the Swayman deal.

 

[Hookslide]

He did though. 2013, right before signing his big deal

Yes, you are right I was wrong, but I was not wrong with saying he doubled his salary did not triple it like Swayman is trying to do.

Good to hear. Hammer it out and lets get going

 

[Eddie Munson]

Going from Ullmark \Swayman to Korpisalo\Patera\Bussi in one off season can't happen or heads should roll.

Shades of Bergeron/Krejci to Coyle/Zacha.

This is why you don't overpay/overspend on backups/down the lineup players like Korpisalo, Zadorov, and Peeke. Overpaying stars isn't a big deal. Overpaying secondary players is what kills you.

Leafs fans can tell you that the inverse can be just as bad. Bad contracts are bad contracts and can come back to bite you.

It doesn't though. Just someone who didn't dive in deep enough on the salary situation.

Let's hope would be best for both parties IMO.

Swayman on Bruins tenure: 'Don't want it to end'

Restricted free agent goalie Jeremy Swayman, currently in a contentious contract standoff with Boston, said he would do "everything in my power to be a Bruin for a long time" on the NHL's new Amazon Prime Video docuseries.

LOL Bruins holding the Canes game 7 and Panthers game 7 against him? The series where he went 3-2 vs the 2 seed and then the series where McAvoy tipped the tying goal by him?

Talk about grasping for straws

 

[EverettMike]

Holy shit. My f***ing crazy theory about what they said at arbitration was right!

They weren't necessarily wrong, but to be fair, it was a small sample size. To his credit, he changed the narrative the following postseason.

 

[Saxon Eric]

i also like tarasov, still think he can be useful (and voronkov, and marchenko, and mateychuk, etc)

Throw one of them in too

you forgot the Carolina series where he came in so they wouldn't get swept and brought it to 7.

I've seen this movie end the same way 100 times, with a press conference to announce the deal and everyone smiling and praising each other. I still think the deal gets done, maybe for fewer years.

Arya Stark kept a list too...didn't end well for those on it

No, I didn't. I posted the stats.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

I'm fine with a young star holding a team accountable for the garbage criticisms they threw out against him in arbitration. Sorry, there should be consequences for a team flexing its muscle when they have the RFA advantage.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Holy shit. My f***ing crazy theory about what they said at arbitration was right!

Imagine that.

 

[DKH]

did you start thinking about trade offers from columbus at all? they might be the only team that can do something now
from a financial perspective and from a need standpoint. and they have some pretty sweet young pieces.

but i still think it's very unlikely - just a crap time to make a trade.

Hell yah
Me and Lou and Eric already been texting/talking what we want back

We all got Kent Johnson

Tommy Salo handled arbitration better and Milbury made him cry.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

No, I didn't. I posted the stats.

only see two seasons there

What a soft baby this kid is, Check for one playoff win? F off dude

I'd like to point out once again that Jeremy Swayman responded to an arbitration hearing that personally upset him by performing as a world-class professional. It didn't impact his play. It actually motivated him to play the best hockey of his career.

Isn't that what the best athletes always do? They use people questioning them as motivation to prove them wrong rather than wallow?

Even if someone thinks he's being a "baby" about arbitration on the ice he responded like a f***ing man.
