Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman: VII- As featured in Episode 3 of Amazon's "FACEOFF: Inside the NHL

[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.

His first game back in Boston after getting traded to whatever team he goes to is going to be Clemens-level ugly.

is that the one run 16 strikeout game?

 

[Dr Hook]

Who was the last Bruin to spend his whole career with the Bs until their mid 30s or later and play else where? Bourque?

Don Sweeney?

 

[UncleRico]

Don Sweeney?

Haha true good call

 

[JAD]

How about you pay him exactly what he wants on the condition he doesn’t get trade protection?

How about you pay him exactly what he wants on the condition the Bruins can outright void the contract for poor performance.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Wow, now Swayman is going to get a refund for his UMaine online business degree.

UMaine System students awarded refunds over online learning during COVID

About 16,180 students are eligible for the partial refund of tuition and fees after a settlement in a class-action lawsuit alleging breach of contract for classes and services moving online during the spring 2020 semester.

The rich get richer!!

 

[Gee Wally]

even if this thing does a 180 and swayman signs 8x8 tomorrow...does anyone think this guy retires as a bruin?
seems like the writing is on the wall. over/under on him getting traded is probably 3 years, although i guess his
trade protection could muck that up.

[Smitty93]

Is this a parody account hah

Even better, it's a parody message board

 

[Number8]

Athletic has it 46.4 Neely, 39.1 neither, 14.5 Gross on who is telling the truth

56.7 feel Neely and Sweeney can close the deal, 43.3 say no.

I guess once you check things outside a fanclub board things can change

Meaning 85.5% decided to choose Neely or Neither rather than Gross. Or straight out 46.4 Neely truthful vs. 14.5 Gross truthful.

I don’t know but that’s at least reasonably on par with B’s fans in HF posts.

Overall I’d say people across the spectrum aren’t too high on Gross.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Well can't imagine swayman actions are a big motivation for fans who just want the cup. Dude is ruining himself for greed

 

[Over the volcano]

Send him to Utah for Iginla' kid and their starting goalie.

Players that hire him must like him.

Maybe swayman wants to sit for a while. Wouldn’t be the first gross client that did.

I'm thinking he signs 8x8 late November.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I'm thinking he signs 8x8 late November.

What a guy

 

[BamBamCam]

I'm thinking he signs 8x8 late November.

Sweeney will have his own deadline before that

 

[Bruins4Lifer]

I've posted it before, but here it is again.

If the contract is for more than one year, the cap is higher in the first year, but lower in the remaining years.

In this example, if he were to sign a contract at 8 X 8 this is his cap hit on the days he could sign in October after the season begins:

View attachment 912097

This is what it would look like if Swayman were to lose money from a year 1 $8M salary by signing later in the year and missing days from the start of the NHL season. For example, he would only be paid ~$62.9M in actual money (not $64M) over 8 years if he signed on Oct 30 from your table above.

Is that how you understand it as well?

 

[SwayHeyKid]

What a guy

that's what happens when you have two spiteful people going up against each other I guess.

Sweeney will have his own deadline before that

Nah.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Nah.

Ok

 

[KrejciMVP]

No thanks. He'll come in cold and not ready for hockey. If he was a skilled center or winger ok but a goalie who benefits from a system. Nah. Sway was a 4th rd pick there.will be others down the line

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Well can't imagine swayman actions are a big motivation for fans who just want the cup. Dude is ruining himself for greed

Guessing the team buffoon should have made the 8x8 offer in private.

How come Ullmark didn't benefit from the system in the play-offs?

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Guessing the team buffoon should have made the 8x8 offer in private.

Guessing the team beta shouldn’t have leaked to Chiclets that the GM is incompetent.

If someone offered you 64 mill on TV would you take it

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Ok

I know the Bruins brass is blameless.

 

[KrejciWinger]

After the season starts lower the offer to 7.5 million.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Guessing the team beta shouldn’t have leaked to Chiclets that the GM is incompetent.

I think the GM is doing great here. Swayman no issue either. Swayman not allowed to be butthurt but Donnie is...all good

If someone offered you 64 mill on TV would you take it

If I didn't think I was worth 72 mil, yes.

Jeremy has requested a trade but the Bruins must hire him a wellness team to “get through it”..:
