3m per for that long is alot for a backup. Sway is gonna want some good money. You're looking at about 12m between the two of them.
Your guess is as good as mine because as a Bruins fan I am perplexed.

Grubauer signed when he was coming off of 3 years with a .918 save%, including finishing 3rd in Vezina voting in 2020-2021. His 3 years before signing with Seattle were extremely comparable to Swayman's last 3 years with Boston.
Grubauer's contract seems like a good comparison for Swayman, even with Grubauer turning into ass after signing with Seattle.

Bussi and DiPietro have like 1 game of experience between them. At his retained rate, Korpisalo is being paid like a high end backup. Swayman has never started more than 45 games in a season.
How does he not fit?
I see a lot of wishcasting that Korpisalo gets moved on simply because people don’t like him but his experience level does seem to fit the gig that is open now that Ullmark is gone.
Seems like Sweeney wanted him at this retained rate to be a long term plug for the backup role behind Sway.

A small market Canadian team may be the Cup champion in 3 hours and a recent Vezina winner just said f-you to big American markets and would only waive his NTC for a small market Canadian team.
Happy Canada Day!

Nice bit of business for Staios cleaning up Dorion’s mess. If they can extend Ullmark to a reasonable number it will make this look even more skewed in their favour.

Well Ullmark is Swedish and many Swedes have said they prefer traditional markets more, notably Elias Lindholm and Mattias Ekholm.

There are only 3 picks in this year's draft for the Bruins, and not until the 4th, 5th, and 6th rounds. Now they have the 25th pick. Maybe they rotate 3 goalies, Bussi shows well, and another team may want him. He has been very good in college and last year in the AHL.

Wait. You think Swayman is getting $9 million AAV?
Swayman is awesome but again - he’s been a 40-45 starts a year guy, not a 55-60 starts a year guy.
It makes total sense that Sweeney wanted a backup at a reasonable price that has logged starting minutes.

Strange deal from the Bruins.
I'll be curious to see how Ullmark looks outside the Boston system.
Ottawa is where goalies die.

It is, but that 1st is what it should cost to dump Korpisalo. So they essentially traded Ullmark for Kastellic

Ottawa has been a goalie graveyeard in the sense that every goalie we’ve brought in is a corpse. Ullmark is not

Maybe Boston values Kastelic like Tampa values Jeannot lol.
I have no idea how, but Boston will somehow make this look like a win-win. They always manage to surprise me.

Yup, Bruins got fleeced here. I said for weeks they would probably get equivalent of a 3rd in this year’s draft. People here laughed at me. I think this return is worse.
3m per for that long is alot for a backup. Sway is gonna want some good money.
You also had him platooning with a Vezina trophy winner. Even if I'm coming in above, you're at least at 10-10.5, no? He was one of the very best G in the playoffs. If the B's don't want to pay him, I think someone will give him 8 and change very quickly.

Oh you know exactly how it will happen. Goalies are gonna goalie which means Korpisalo is gonna suddenly put up Ullmark like numbys in Boston.
Korpisalo was a deep fried turd sandwich last year but he’s athletically talented and has put up some streaks of great play at points in his past. Don’t laugh at the thought of him suddenly looking much better starting 30-35 games behind that B’s defense.
