I have no problem with players getting what they deserve, problem is Swayman is getting ahead of himself a little bit.
I think players, when given the opportunity, should reset the market, but you gotta be the right guy to do it. Swayman is not that guy, that guy is Shesterkin, he is the guy in the right situation with the right resume to be able to push the market forward for goalies, not a guy that has played half the games and had one decent playoff series.
Swayman trying to reset the market would be akin to Bedard signing a new deal based on this past season and expecting to set the market. He may be that good one day, but that man is not him, that man is named Connor McDavid.
Now if Swayman wants to sign a two to four year deal, put in good work playing 60 games a year for the next couple years he could be that guy or one of those guys, but with his current body of work it comes off as not only being a stretch but just flat out wrong.
If Boston is offering him anywhere North of 6.5 then he is being offered based on what he has proven so far. Yes you pay for potential sometimes, but potential from goalie isn't worth 4 extra million a season.
