If he sits out, he does not get paid this year, I believe if does not sign this year by december1, he cannot sign and play for the whole season. What you are saying, sign for one year at 3.6 is a lot less than what he could sign for now, so I would say either way his pocket book is effected.
Hey, sometimes you have to play the cards you are dealt.
I’m not arguing that. I’m saying you saying that Swayman has no leverage because Boston has Korpisalo and some guy on contract…like Boston does need Swayman in net for them this year lol that is his leverage.
He has no leverage because he is a RFA that doesnt have a contract. Not sure what you are not understanding.
Lmao if he had no leverage he would be signed right now. His leverage is his importance to the team. It really isn’t hard to figure out.
This doesnt even make sense. If he sits out the start of the season and Korpi and Bussi start off with a .920 s%, what happens with his leverage? He is also not getting paid and not ticking off any time until UFA.
And you think Bruins management wants to head into the season with Korpisalo as their #1. That is absurd as well.
Bro you got to stop wearing your homer glasses... Swayman wants to get paid. He feels he's at a lvl higher than Sorolin who signed 8.25 when the cap was lower
They might not want to, but thats what it is looking like if Swayman doesnt lower his demands. He is not getting a 2 year deal, there is no incentive for the Bruins to do that. He also hasnt proven he is a franchise goalie that can carry a full load that he will be expected to if he wants to paid like a franchise goalie
Swayman can want and feel whatever he wants. He isnt in position to demand anything.
Ah gotcha, thanks. I was thinking of the way Reinhart got out of BUF but I didn't realize the deadline for that passed.
Depends? Is it .750 or .900? They either ride it out or pick up another goalie. They arent getting forced to give out a $10 million contract though. Meanwhile, Swayman will be skating at the local rink earning no money.
Swayman wont sign an 8 yeat deal at 7M lol. A 2 year deal at 7 mayber.
Add to this that the Bruins just went out and signed two big dollar UFA contracts with Lindholm and Zadorov. Certainly Swayman sees the club spending on other players, and understands he’s more important to the club’s success than they are. So he’s for sure only signing for North of 70 million. Likely it’s an 8 year x 9 mill deal. 72 mil.
Thats 9.5/ year
