Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman

[22Brad Park]

OK that he filled his bank account so he isn't bitter for the next 8 years. But signing the fat contract means he has to play his ass off and steal some games for the team. He hasn't held up his end of the bargain.

I am glad he never stole games behind this shit roster. Bruins need some top picks badly.

For all those advocating for Sway to get paid pre-season , you can step out and take a bow now.

F*** NO. If someone offered a top 10 pick, you could make the argument, but F** no



Coming into this season he was 79-33- 15, with a GAA average around .917 and a GAA around 2.4. This after being the best goaltender in college hockey during his career. He dominated the AHL in the couple dozen games he played at that level.

Everything about his history prior to last postseason pointed to him being someone who would be a top 5-7 goaltender in the league for the length of the new contract. And then he backed it up with a stand on his head performance in postseason.

I don't know why he has failed to perform this year. Some of it is clearly the team in front of him, especially given the defense they have had to play since Lindholm (and later McAvoy) went out. But he was off his game from his first game this year.

Maybe this is the new norm and Swayman will never again be the same player that was indicated by the previous 7 years of his hockey career. But is is absurd to say he got his contract because he had a few good weeks in the playoffs

He got $8.25M without ever being a clear cut starting goalie. The numbers are fine, but he was doing split duty playing 40ish games a year. Those numbers are likely different if he’s starting 4-5 straight in a row.

And yes, I do think he got paid because he had a good post season. I don’t get how that is absurd? Management was thinking “hmm, looks like he can start more than 2 straight games”

Do you think he’s worth his price tag? Like I said, if you’re holding out and missing camp because you think you deserve more money, you sure as f*** need to step up and play like it. He hasn’t.
