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.

Hopes dashed but can now stop thinking about it. Hope he lives up to it

It's funny to me how 8×8 was mentioned by so many people including fans for a long time. At same time we had people saying Swayman might be trying to set goalie market. After all he did take business classes at Maine!

I think Neely was 100% truthful when he let the 64m number out. Bruins were offering 64 and Swayman's agent completely full of shit saying they weren't aware of it. Waiting for news to drop that Swayman has fired his agent for not informing him of offer. Just like Freddie Freeman.

We could have gotten to this 66m compromise without all the bullshit.

 

[08SeaBass08]

I just voted for long term deal

Same.

 

[Tbaybruin]

What’s going to happen with Bussi now? Will we loose him?

 

[UncleRico]

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

Except that logic is reversed in this situation since florida is paying more for bobrovisky

Neely was rounding down!

Sweeney/Swayman presser at 11:30 a.m.

 

[JOKER 192]

We, as Bruins fans, should all breathe a sigh of relief cause if we were going with the Korpi/Bussi tandem we were in for a long year.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Sway fans should be celebrating? This seems reasonable to me

 

[nORRis8]

It looks like the Neely comments helped grease the wheels to finally get this done.

Yes.
Cam will now say "We signed Swayman for 8.25 to 8 years....that's...let's see.....84 million dollars!!!"

The point was that players flock to the no tax states . Makes it easier to build a team.

 

[Spooner st]

Signed in since Bergeron retirement.
I only have one question...
Do we have the data on the collateral damaged caused by the monumental stressful experience fans had to deal with?

Prayers to those that didn't make it.

Well bring that up with lawmakers in Massachusetts.

Otherwise it’s nothing more than an excuse

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Glad its done, seems like such a relief, although it dragged on way too long. Now find a way to score more goals. Sway will steal one extra goal against over the other two they have right now. This contract will be a bargain in a few years. Maybe another team would be interested in one of our other keepers.

 

[KnightofBoston]

I’m just glad we’re gonna get a break from all the weird boot strappy and generational hate commentary

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

So who starts game 1?

 

[Mick Riddleton]

We, as Bruins fans, should all breathe a sigh of relief cause if we were going with the Korpi/Bussi tandem we were in for a long year.

I am more worried about the scoring, those two were not Sway but they were looking decent. Glad its done and they improved in a position now improve the last thing missing.

Is it on NESN or nbcsports Boston. Anyone know.

 

[Fingertools]

Now that this is done, and even most of the anti-pay Sway club were ok with $8M/8yr, why should there be any negative reaction to him? Isn't this pretty much what we all wanted? How many truly believe that over 8 years this is too much?

 

[DKH]

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.

I wonder how many takes he did before they went out there

 

[Kalus]

Cam presser effect. 90s hockey style

Definitely a little of that Sinden stuff.

 

[BradPark22]

So who starts game 1?

Swayman isn't playing for awhile.

 

[Pia8988]

Cam now be lauded as the one getting this finalized. Classic

 

[DiggityDog]

So when do we put this horrible thread out to pasture? Kill it with fire.

8 seems right all along

7.5-8.5 was my range

Like if your ‘ideal’ weight is 190 lbs anything from 185-195 is ok
