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.

That's done and dusted, and I've never been happier to move on. I just hope the hate it isn't too rough for him when he has a bad game, because he will- it's inevitable.

 

[Ladyfan]

Does anyone think this might be a sign and trade????



/s

Nope

 

[NeelyDan]

This is just the opening act

We got the plot, identified a few villains, Lonnie gave us his interpretation of a hissy fit, Swayman has helped us understand Gen Z better, we know 64 M is on the table, we learned Sway post hockey career and sing some songs

Act 2 comes today, tomorrow,or Tuesday, and can only go one of two ways

Signed ~ how long, how much, is he happy, sad, salty, going all Keyser Soze on us and the league, or does he stay the smiling happy to be here kid. Be interesting how he comes out of this.

Unsigned ~ the nerds break out the spread sheets and explain the ramifications, and we speculate on trades and if it’s better to wait to next off season ~ Sway goes to Russia to stay sharp where he plays for Moscow Dynamo and takes classes at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Dude I genuinely love you lol

Kudos to cam

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Hey kids, nice to be back here to enjoy another season of Bruins hockey.

Did I miss anything important?

 

[bruinsfan1968]

Shut up and play hockey! Enough talk from you!

 

[Hookslide]

See it is starting.

I just voted for long term deal

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I’d be ecstatic if it wasn’t for this overwhelming feeling of relief.

Said from the beginning that the right deal was something Saros adjacent and while we don’t know the finer details, at least in AAV, this appears to be the case.

For the sake of my own snark (which has been earned through these countless threads and the bitching in them) I sincerely hope those who had drawn their own “lines in the sand” are absolutely f***ing miserable at the news this morning. I hope you’re furious at Swayman staying in Boston, at this number, for all of these years. I hope you’re f***ing sick to your stomachs. Because at least then, you’d be consistent.

 

[Boston Bruno]

My momma told me if I have nothing nice to say about someone to make stuff up and lie thru my teeth ..

I am so elated that our offence starved team that had more shots in the plane than in the game has their goalie

Send him to Providence for conditioning.

[Therewolf31]

I never said he was not a good goaltender, he is, but now they have other holes, like RW, goal scoring, and future replacement for Marchand. So now to fix those holes they will need to move another position and weaken that but now we have a 66-million-dollar goaltender, which brings the grand total for goal tending on this team to over 11 million dollars............I am so f***n enthused.

If Korpisalo shows any kind of promise, he could be traded mid season with SOME money retained or they could send him to Providence and use Bussi. That would free up some money for a potential acquisition at the deadline

 

[Bruinaura]

Can we add "Stanley Cup" to the poll now?

 

[Kalus]

I had it at $9M AAV for a long term deal. I’ll take $8.25M. By the mid point of his deal, his cap hit will be around 10th in the league for goalies which is about right. He will be about 30 at that point and shouldn’t regress to much by expiry 4 years later. Good deal considering all the leverage the Bruins poor handling of all this gave Swayman.

Florida panthers won a cup with a higher percentage of cap allocated to goalies than the bruins this year.

They certainly had enough offense.

It’s up to Sweeney to build an offense that’s up to par.

 

[JOKER 192]

Was all this really necessary to get to 8/8.25 ? It shouldn't have been this hard.

 

[nORRis8]

Yesterday I said the Bruins last offer will be 8.2 so I wasn't far off.
We are overpaying obviously but if he puts up stellar numbers in the next 3-4 years then he will be worth it.
Saddened though how greed, bitching, whining handcuffed a team and to a degree still will for the next few weeks till he spends some time getting use to some of the new guys.

Oh well.
Hockey on!

Yeah, if Bob works his magic on Korpisalo they'll deal him for the asset and cap

 

[PlayMakers]

It’s not over until Neely makes a public apology.

You spelled Swayman wrong.

 

[Hookslide]

You spelled Swayman wrong.

Good one.

Cam presser effect. 90s hockey style

Does Bussi make it through waivers to get sent down to Providence.

Sweeney doesn't have the luxury of being a no tax state .

Don't forget the villian to hero swerve by Neely, going from the greatest liar in the history of liars to wise and verbally nimble negotiator.

 

[UncleRico]

One of them is ducking media availability today. Wonder who it is

 

[SPLBRUIN]

This ended how I figured after Cam's 64 million reasons comment. I guessed 8.1- 8.2/year. Anyways glad this is over and we got this over the line. There will be huge pressure on Swayman to deliver because he got seriously paid.
