Can I just lock them in a room together with a giant bowl of cookies until they work out a deal?
Says the guy posting on a message board at 1am. They were my interpretations, feel free to disagree and have a good day.Absolutely nothing you said here was stated in that article. Let it play out. Time to touch grass
When Elliotte Friedman is baffled about where this is going we have a big problem.
I was in the camp that Ullmark would be traded but I figured the Bruins would not do it until Swayman was locked in.
The B in Bruins fan apparently stands for butthurt. I'm the type who wants to ice the bext team possible so long term please,,
My late brother was an NCAA D1 goalie recruited by Northeastern during his 1968-69I've been somewhat hard on the expectations of the Swayman camp in theses negotiations. And I truly hope that things get resolved quickly. I've made my opions known elsewhere on this matter and they really have not changed. Whatever the Bruins finally decide upon it is ultimately their choice and I hope Swayman is a part of the team and does well for years to come.
Swayman has shown to be a good goalie, he has the potential to be a great goalie.
What we tend to forget is that historically goalies have always been a little off their rocker, crazy, out there ... in their own world. Who else finds enjoyment in having 3 inch hard rubber disks shot at them repeatedly?
If and when this is settled and he's back out there on the ice, ... If the rest of the team is okay and fine with his seemingly cocky expectations and he's working hard to win games and get the team back to the finals and possibly a cup. Then I'm fine with him too.
Is Gross still Nylanders agent?That seems plausible as it sounds very similar to what happened with Nylander who ended up talking directly with Dubas to get that contract at the last minute.
You think Ullmark is coming back after Bruins tried trading him?Sway will have a great career in California.
Ride Korpi for a miracle season and then give Ullmark 7 mil in the summer.
Then they should trade him. Swayman should sign a bridge then and get 10 at 29 years old. I have no issue with them not going thereAnthony Stewart thinks it’s going to take $10m per season to get this done.
Yeah I could see a deal along the lines of Gibson and Anaheim's #1 for Swayman and Boston's #1.I think the Bruins would prob rather work out a hockey deal then just getting picks at this point in time. Would almost certainly need another NHL caliber goalie.
Its pro sports.People say this all the time but it’s not really a good comparison. In the NHL, the employer is capped in how much they can spend, and in this case, the team is going to be spending to the max. So when one player asks for more, they’re not forcing the team to pay more. They’re forcing the team to pay someone else, one of their colleagues, less.
The more suitable comparison would be: Imagine your employer offers you a healthy raise. But it’s not enough for you. So you go to them and say, I want an extra 25k and I want you to take it from Sally’s salary and give it to me instead. I deserve more and she deserves less. And if you have to lay Sally off to pay me, that’s fine too.
Would that make you an asshole?
Anaheim got off to a good start last year and Zegras was hurt and sucked when he came back.To Utah for Josh Doan would be a solid trade. Young natural RW to fill the open roster spot.
I could see something with Calgary. Maybe a 1st + Huberdeau with ~2mil retained. They get out of that contract, B's take a risk on a struggling top 6 forward but get a high pick as well.
Ducks for Zegras would be good. One head case for another. I'd like to see what Zegras can do when the games actually matter instead of going through the motions on a losing team.
Anthony Stewart thinks it’s going to take $10m per season to get this done.
It’s easy to say deal him and I do agree but it’s not likely the Bruins will get what they want back . What a mess .Lewis Gross is involved in a high profile player should surprise no one what happens
Personally I wouldn’t budge from 8/64
I followed the Nylander stuff very closely and like Scott Boras learned to loathe him
This should have been a great marriage but my opinion is Swayman believes he was done dirty by Bruins and is jaded - innocence gone
I would deal him
If Gross is so adamant the 64 never offered it - was now so accept it
Saros is as good as Swayman - I think he’s better- and he just signed 8 for 7.5 ish
No not because of that guy. The negativity here has been over-the-top now for awhile, I stayed away all summer avoiding commenting on anything because you could see the vitriol and sometimes personal attacks on posters for their opinion. Sad but par for the course in 2024 unfortunately.''never see me post on this board again after today.''
Because of that guy?
