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.

How you get that from Friedman’s pod is amazing. Not surprising, but still amazing.

If the info Friedman shows it’s true (which who really knows)

Then it means Neely lied saying there was a $64 million deal on the table

 

[Otherworld]

To the Bruins brass.....

Sign the kid and place all of the weight the deal comes with on his shoulders.

Stop embarrassing yourselves and this franchise.

Don't make this get any worse.

one million percent. I could easily see him taking 4/30 say from someone. Seems like Swayman's worth to himself is more than they are willing to pay. It also seems like Swayman is finally important to the Bruins coming up to 8.

4/30 would be more than the Bruins offered if we are to believe the 4 year deal that was a "slap in the face" at 6.2 for 4 years.

They've made a more than reasonable offer. Swayman need to pull his head out of his behind and stop embarrassing himself.

No need for the “slap in the face” in quotes it was pathetic. Two goalies 6 and 4 years ago got as much or more on bridge deals

 

[LSCII]

Who’s more credible, friedman or Seravalli?

Because friedman says the 64 million offer was real and Seravalli says it was 62 mil and Cam was lying about 64 mil.

To clarify, Friedman said it was offered but only after the presser, iicrc. So it was a lie.

And to me, if I was Swayman, and they tried to lie in the press conference, I wouldn’t sign here for any amount of money. I’d do the Denis Lemieux move and say trade me right f***ing now and move on. No chance I’d come back to deal with a liar.

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

I say forget a long term deal at this point.

The Bruins should offer Swayman the following options:

1. 2 x 7M
2. 3 x 7.25M
3. 4 x 7.5M
4. A Western Conference team of their choice

 

[Over the volcano]

This is going to drag to December 1 at least.

Unbelievable.

It'll be another year he's not a full time goalie.

 

[Bmessy]

First let's look at a list of Swaymans accolades:

1 Playoff series win

f*** this kid. Trade him for a 6 to 8 mil forward and move on.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

They've made a more than reasonable offer. Swayman need to pull his head out of his behind and stop embarrassing himself.

Cap is going up to 92.5 mil next and the bruins remarkably have zero dead cap space next year. 9 mil per isn’t the end of the world for them

 

[Ladyfan]

8 years, $70M. Let’s get this done and get on with the season.

I want to be excited about the Bruins and the upcoming year. This has killed it for me.

I so agree. They are a fun bunch to watch (last night was a blast) and I hate having this Swayman signing hanging over the team like a dark cloud.

I don't want any bad vibes with what should be a great start to the season.

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

I was in the trade Swayman & sign Linus camp.

Not me. Do you really think the Bruins get by the Leafs in the 1st round with Ullmark in goal?

 

[SwayHeyKid]

It'll be another year he's not a full time goalie.

But yet they would turn to him in the playoffs for the fourth straight season. Imagine that.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

1. 2 x 7M
2. 3 x 7.25M

He’ll take the 2x7 faster than you can finish the sentence and leave in UFA in 2 years

 

[Over the volcano]

No need for the “slap in the face” in quotes it was pathetic. Two goalies 6 and 4 years ago got as much or more on bridge deals

So it's an insult to give him one of the 3 richest bridge contracts at his position in the last 6 years.

Besides - who were they and has Swayman done more / worth more?

 

[Ladyfan]

The middle of their rumored respective ranges is 7.85, which is probably why they're stuck on 8 on the team side.

Guess we're going to see. Maybe 8.1 is a moral victory and it's over.

 

[Walkenthewalk]

Who’s more credible, friedman or Seravalli?

Because friedman says the 64 million offer was real and Seravalli says it was 62 mil and Cam was lying about 64 mil.

Maybe we will find out the next time Cam runs into Serv.

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

He’ll take the 2x7 faster than you can finish the sentence and leave in UFA in 2 years

Hopefully, it'll be a great two years!

[dangermike]

the sign linus camp is HILARIOUS

who honestly thinks hed come back here - sway is his friend and they pushed him to ottowa... am taking crazy pills lol

 

[Midship]

I'll jump out a first story window if the Bruins up their offer beyond 8x8.

 

[goldenblack]

I’m beginning to wonder if any GM would interested in Mr. Swayman.

We should have had a Sits the Year 4th option in this poll.

Sits for the year is actually impossible. Nobody should vote for it.

If Sway were to actually do that, he is the dumbest athlete in the NHL. And he'd deserve every bit of misery coming.

You fire your agent on the eve of Dec 1, and you sign.

 

[Walkenthewalk]

This nonsense has become a horrible distraction, 8x$8.25m BAFO from Bruins, take it or go home. Even then it might not be worth it as JS has clearly been permanently scarred by the ARB process. Is he going to shoot his way out of town at the very slightest adversity? Because adversity will follow a contract of that size.

 

[Pia8988]

How you get that from Friedman’s pod is amazing. Not surprising, but still amazing.

The quote from another GM how this was targeted attack through the Media. But that is just Boston sports 101. Also not shocked you don't see that. Swayman bad. Gross is the problem. Raaaaaaaaah!

 

[easton117]

Don't continue to bid against yourself.

I let him sit.

Think this was the gist of what Neely was getting at the other day. He sounded like he’s at the enough is enough stage.
